Bands like "Simple Minds" were cutting edge in the 80's. Everything was changing to electronics and MTV. We look back now and realize just how special our decade was. It seems like a lifetime ago, but they were some of the best years of our lives.

It happened last week. My mother was in the nursery home in the Netherlands, she is 90 years old and in the last days of her life. My wife and me were in the car, coming from Denmark on our way to the Netherlands, to make sure to be in time before she passed away. When we were half an hour on the road, we got a phone call from the nursery home, that my mother just passed away. We did not make it and were too late. I pulled the car aside on a parking lot, and just when we stopped, the Simple Minds - Alive and kicking was played on the Danish radio. Just on the exact moment that we heard that my mam passed away. My wife and and me hugged each other and bursted in tears. I miss you mam, R.I.P., be alive and kicking in heaven.

+JOHNNY .BOY I couldn't have said that better --- we were blessed and there was a special sound about great music that was made in the 80s that you can just know that is the decade it was pressed to the album. I was born in 65 and I used to sit during the 70s with my 45s and play them for hours. Remember the little plasic thing that you used to have to put into the middle of a 45 so that it could play on a 33 turntable? Well, if you want to have some fun, find one of those and show it to a kid of the younger generation today and ask if they can figure out what it is for (lol) --- Keep listening to the choice music, friends.

As we age into our late 40's, we begin to realize that we are aging, we do not have the same energy that we once had, we also begin to reflect on the past, and most of us long for a simpler time, a time when we had youthful energy, and the only thing that we had to fear was Russia and their nukes In our later years, most of us begin to reflect on life, and most of us would much rather return to the years of our youth. Every generation goes through this, every generation thinks that the music of their youth is the greatest music ever. Oh, how I would like to return to 1988 when all I had to worry about was English class. Now I am 49 years old, and I make $70,000 a year for driving a truck/lorry. My home is debt free, my only child is now 25 years old, life is much easier, but somehow, I long to return to the times when I was absolutely broke, but I had youthful energy, and above all I was YOUNG. Now, people who appear to be in there 30's call me sir.....probably because my beard is mostly grey.
