Styx: “My true identity - Kilroy!”

It felt like 80’s today, and paradoxically, I didn’t feel too young. This morning, I discovered my first white hair followed by not hitting it off too well with an old schoolmate who “confronted” me because I “interfered” with her affairs, i.e. correct her grammatical lapses in a friendster message. A lot of people will be on my side on the matter, I’m sure.

I was brain dead for a while.

In other news, I heard Styx on the radio while I was hanging outside school. I think they have these afternoon recall sessions and stuff, which made me think about the music of the past few decades. Okay, I’m not exactly an 80’s person, and I happen to be very selective when it comes to this particular decade especially since my inclinations are anything but pop. You’d catch me listening to The Cure, The Smiths (were they even 80’s?), some U2 and some glam rock, i.e. Aerosmith. This is almost ridiculous when you think about it, how my musical background goes. Whereas other 80’s kids were partial to pop music by the dawn of the 90’s (ala Janet Jackson, perhaps?), I was listening to my older brother playing Metallica’s Master of Puppets album and some Megadeath.

What were the sounds of your childhood?
