lnxw48a1: When Moon Zappa’s song “Valley Girl” was popular, someone I knew moved to MN for work. They soon returned to SoCal, because everyone in the town where they moved expected them to talk in ValSpeak (and had some other misconceptions about Californians that the person I knew did not fit). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb21lsCQ3EM #song #1982 #1980s

lnxw48a1: https://nu.federati.net/url/262352 I remember this sort of display from the #1980s. They were said to be better for the eyes than the green-on-black displays, but it just caused me to experience eye pain leading to fairly intense headaches.

lnxw48a1: Now that I’ve been listening to all this great music from the #1970s (and a few songs from the #1960s and #1980s), I’m going to have to revise the list I sent to #sonTwo of what to play at my memorial service. (No, I’m not planning for or expecting a departure any time soon. I’m hoping to stick around at least until #GS3 reaches adulthood.)

rozzin: One of the things that's only really clear 30 years later—and actually really interesting—is just how excellent the #soundtrack to #BillAndTed's Excellent Adventure was: it seems to have perfectly captured a lot things—most obviously the nature of #1980s rock music, but most interestingly by having the prescience to cast the big acts so of-the-era that #popculture pretty much forgot them all a few decades on.
