Day 23: A song from the 80s

This was my decade. Starting in the early 80s it was a mix of power pop, some punk, ska and metal. My sisters were good musical mentors for me.

The in 82 my sister and her boyfriend took me to my first punk show and EVERYTHING changed. Kraut and The Exploited. Hardcore all middle 80s into late 80s.

Then post hardcore, NYC thrash, and early grunge in the late 80s before I went into the army the first time in 89.

City Gardens in Trenton. All ages shows at VFW halls and roller rinks, CBGBs and Pyramid club in NYC, Pipeline innNewark, a few places in Philly.

So I’ll focus on the middle:

Naked Raygun - Home of the Brave saw then 5-6x but the first time was at the Catty Shack in west Catasaqua PA.

So cool! Marc Maron talks a lot about having “that person” at a formative time in your life. My older sisters are wonderful in many, many ways, but had/have crap taste in music. Thank God my best friend across the street had an even older sister who was very cool.

There were some good songs in the 80’s, but to me the music changed in such a negative way, by the end of the decade I had completely stopped listening to any “current” radio stations and have never gone back. Sorry, just not a fan.

But I do like this from 1980…

The Kings - This Beat Goes On/Switchin' to Glide
