Paranoimia
I was looking up New Coke on Wikipedia today, and found that the article had been vandalized; someone had inserted "fucking clown shoes" a few times in the first paragraph. By the time I looked up how to revert, though, someone had already fixed it. Go Wikipedia!
Anyway, the New Coke article was interesting, and it led me to Max Headroom's New Coke commercial on YouTube. From there I naturally progressed to Max Headroom's Paranoimia video with Art of Noise.
And while I was watching that, I was hit with a HUGE spasm of nostalgia. Music was so much cooler back then...and so were some TV shows...MTV was CERTAINLY better then, too (of course I don't watch it any more). At the time I thought that Reagan was a disaster, and destroying the country - and he was certainly laying the groundwork for it - but I never dreamed how much worse things would be in 2006.
Come to think of it, back then I had a much better social life than I have now, too. With one small red-headed exception, naturally. :D
So, in retrospect, those were good times. I'm going to listen to the video again, right now.
