>Hear hear sister! I do feel sorry for those poor kids who still listen to the radio and watch MTV. I don't think I've turned on the radio in over 7 years, other than NPR. (and there is nothing wrong with Prarie Home Companion, thank you!!). Yeah, I remember the first time I saw Robert Smith was when the cure was on Saturday Night Live and I was just like "I have to find out more!!!!" And it just goes on from there! And all the slack I took from students for wearing cure t-shirts in high school. It was endless. It's ok, I knew I was cool :) (and still am!) The really cool thing is that I got a lot of my friends into the cure as well. So, we created a following of sorts in the small town of Greensburg, Indiana. A bunch of "Goth" (though I don't really like to label people) rebellious, angst ridden high school kids looking to cause trouble. We had some good times!!! And the cure was our sound track!!
Karen, I'm totally even more impressed by your musical 80s knowledge since you are 10 years younger than I. I always felt sorry for the kids of the 90s who didn't have a lot of deep stuff - mainly boyband trash and Britney/Christina.
