I can't remember the first 45 I bought. My first album - Moody Blues In Search of the Lost Chord. Vinyl, of course.

I don't think anyone can hate the Gap Band?

Gee. I was just at my local Chevrolet dealer and they WERE playing 80's music as I signed my paychecks away for the next six years!

Maybe it's a trend?

Yep. My generation has become retro.

Didn't there used to be a longer turnaround time for these things?

I suspect the absolute value of the turnaround time is approximately the same, but as we get older that period represents an increasingly smaller proportion of our life experience, and therefore feels shorter.

I remember when I was a kid, Christmas took *forever* to come around (yes, Virginia, they had Christmas back when I was a kid.

). As I grew older, the torture of the endless waiting was replaced by the aggravation of not having caught my breath from the last holiday before I have to break out my wallet again. Come to think about it, this example isn't perfect. I am certain the buying season *does* start earlier every damn year. But you get my drift.

It's true. Happy Days came out in the 70's, and got a generation interested in the 50's. But, can it possibly have been that long since the 80's? My perception is that it was just yesterday.

And @ lumberjim: I graduated in 1975. Shirt collar points had just begun to shrink. [I always liked that look but now it does look horribly dated. Well, give it another twenty years to acquire the romantic glow of distant times.]
