That was the year where we were listening to Metallica's Justice For All but the stupid drama chicks were all severely anti-metal and we tried to compromise on Def Leppard but apparently that wasn't quite pusillanimous enough for them. They were all about vaguely-regrettable Duran Duran side projects.

Apropos of nothing I've never seen this video before. It's amazing. Like, damn near Safety Dance amazing.

Edited because why not

It occurs to me that jr. high was where things went dark

(see? Def Leppard is practically easy listening)

But it was also the year that music really started to turn to shit

So that's about where I checked out of the radio forever. It is, however, the year I saw the f'n Oak Ridge Boys in concert because a friend asked me to come so why not.
