This morning while stewing in traffic I think I made some peace with the 80s. It wasn’t a thoroughly lousy decade, it was just a decade like any other, so; some complete shit, and some really nice stuff (which I largely missed out on).

I remember garbage like Reagan, Cold War, racism, crappy top 40s, homophobia, satanic panic, but I also remember AD&D and Oxford Books, and if I’d been a lot luckier I’d have memories full of Little Five Points and a batch of great music and comics.
