My tutor wants to introduce me to this girl... I forgot her name already but it was some bubblegummy 80's name. So I assumed she was older than me. And she is. 18 in May.
Assumptions like that are easily made for me... the transition from 86 to 87 was a big one. Not to mention my parents maintained in their hippy status the whole while... to be reborn as conservitive type liberals, thus granting me with such a name. Why do I throw 'conservitive' in there, you ask? Well what makes them so conservative. The Bill Hicks test. Which I used to call the Hunter Thompson Grail...
They failed.
But yes... the transition from 86 to 87 was far more advanced than any decade prior had yet to touch. I know ages of people who would disagree. 'Music Movements' ended when the drug age was cast away. But I disagree. In 87 a sort of discovery was brewing. Father's would admit to their children the undying love for Duran Duran they had been hiding with their Simon and Garfunkel. Mothers would Cling to Billy Ray Sirus for new wet dreams. And the children had their fingers on the trigger with little hope of rehabilitation from this horrible world and horrible stench. But some sense... some sense of hope and light dawned in 87. And await. Await. Await the time they all had clawed for. Music which makes them feel again. No smoke or pill or tab or drop can free ones mind like the wave of a new sound smacking the gullets of all with eardrums.
Music would set them free. In fact causeing some children to now pull the trigger... as a result of being further depressed by idols spitting truths of their lives into their laps. Which, lets admit isn't necessarily a bad thing. Better youre trigger than mine, I say. But some children did benefit. Did live. Did create. Some even copied.
But for those few years. Not even a decade could mask and hold what was said in those few years. Our children were no longer happy with what you shoved down thier throats...
Except...
Except maybe when this movement spread by way of flannel wearing run way models and the birth of immitating crap bands from the south. Really it was all fed to them. But how could you see that? Being so young and liking what you hear. Hearing something DISGUISED as an anti-media, anti-aged generations, rythym. But really... it is no different than the rise and fall of disco. Which I myself respect a bit more than what the movement of 'grunge rock' had become. Disco was about drugs, rythym, and making it through the night without being pissed on... or searchin for a shootin stream if that's what you feel into tonight. I hate the music of disco. Love the music of the transition age. But I respected what people did with Disco... not how people twisted the music into spades sold in coffee shops...

They filled me full of drink
And led me round the rooms
Naked and cold and grinning
Until everything went black
And I came down spinning
I awoke so drunk and full of rage
That I could hardly speak
A fag in a whale bone corset
Draping his dick across my cheek
And its into the shame
And led me round the rooms
Naked and cold and grinning
Until everything went black
And I came down spinning
I awoke so drunk and full of rage
That I could hardly speak
A fag in a whale bone corset
Draping his dick across my cheek
And its into the shame

I'm smiling so hard my jaws are hurting.
The Bill Hicks test -- that's great. By failing does that mean your parents didn't know who he was or just didn't agree with what he did? Bill Hicks! What a guy.
I've had enough, said enough, felt enough, I'm fine now.
Push me pull me. See ya later
