My parents always had this holiday party, and they would put in videos for the kids. Whatever year it was, they figured my peers and I were too old for cartoons, so got some pop music.... Duran Duran, Girls On Film. Oops. A little too dirty for a family party!
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, that one is super porny.
I didn't know until my ex-GF (your age, and a Duran Duran fan) talked about discovering it on a video rental as a teen.

I was an equal opportunity NE/NKOTB enjoyer, but I did feel a little embarrassed about liking New Kids. Loved NE right up through my college days. Heartbreak was maybe their best album and that dropped 1988: If It Isn't Love, You're Not My Kind of Girl, NE Heartbreak, the original version of Can You Stand the Rain (although the Boyz II Men version is superior). Oh man, New Edition was the good times.

Yeah, those guys could sing a bit.

I graduated high school in 1985, so we were a little ahead of the boy band thing, I guess.
Yep. This was me, too. Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson, Def Leppard, U2 were all huge as were Bruce and John Mellencamp. We also loved Level 42 & Simple Minds as well. (Desperately wanted "Don't You Forget About Me" as our class song, but the stiffs in charge of Student Gov't thought "We've Only Just Begun" would be an oh-so-apropos choice. *gag*)
And Pink Floyd, The Who, and Yes were also huge, since they'd do whole album laser light shows at the Planetarium on Friday and Saturday nights.

I don't know about all that! That song KILLS ME. Man, what is better than pubescent pop music? I'm going to say nothing.
Some Keith Sweat came up on my iPod earlier when I was walking around, and I almost had to sit down.

I never liked boy bands much, but I was addicted to Monkees reruns on television.
My first boy band was Menudo. There was also some New Edition time in there.
My neighborhood was not down with the NKOTB.

My version of that story has that stupid Tevin Campbell friendship song winning out over Guy's "Let's Chill."
