Really? Have the TV on, so it's purely coincidental.

One thing though at least we didn't all walk round with our pants hanging off.

You're right.

Forget teds, mods, punks, goths, new romantics.

The youth of today are just as inventive.

Not wearing a belt, and showing the world your knicker covered ass, is so imaginative.

My son Edo and his girlfriend Martina - sketch by Martina who's an art student! Husband was delighted with the way she wears her pants when she was last here! Won't let on what he saw...

Yes, the moon can effect people in different ways.

Especially seeing a new, or full moon.

First I expect sarcasm from you!

I saw Prodigy on TV recently, a gig from 2010 and they were playing basically same thing as they did 20 years ago - thing is the audience were this generation - by that I mean teenagers early 20's! Point being that they havn't aged. Compare that to someone like Status Quo - 20 years on the audience had aged - but not with the Prodigy!

I would have thought Status Quo to be a fair comparison.
However, last year I had the pleasure of seeing Roger Waters (ex Moody Bass Player of Pink Floyd) perform The Wall.
There was a very good mix of ages, from those who bought DSOM when it first came out, through those of us in middle age to young teenagers.
And he still fills stadiums the world over, in fact he is still touring, the tour has lasted almost 2 years, this guy is 69 and still going strong.

Just proved my point.

There hasn't been anything radically different since 1987.

It's not that it's that fact the kids today are still listening to what was supposedly "in "20 years ago and that was Rave music. It hasn't moved on!

You know Jay, I could not agree more.
Pop music has never gone away, there are more people listening to it every day.
The Beatles are selling albums every day, they last recorded together in 1970.
On the other side of the coin, punk music has all but gone from everyday life.

Phew thank god for that, just wish Rotton Johnnie wouldn't keep popping up on our TV screens and reminding us of it
