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.]

It's all 80s all morning here at Fred Beans Nissan while I wait for service. "Whip It", "Personal Jesus", "Only the Lonely", "Freedom", good god.
But in 1994 I worked for a supermarket chain... in their central offices, which didn't rescue one from 24-hour musak music. THAT was torture. I remember thinking that the Cranberries' "Linger" and K.D. Lang "Constant Craving" were the ONLY two songs of ANY worth in their endless pap rotation. |

Muzac in a CVS in LA reminded me how much I loved this song, which I think is a sweet jazzy poppy dance tune. However, Mr Red really didn't need to dance like that!

One of the very first things I did with my new vehicle was to shear off the driver's side mirror pulling out of the garage. Shear it right off, car's one week old. Oh yeah!
When you're used to a truck, a little car drives differently! And you know, it turns out they won't give you a state inspection sticker without a driver's side mirror. And you know, I have 24-hour epoxy to fix this situation, but I don't have 24 hours. Yeahhh.... I remember when I had my shit together. It was a wonderful thing. |

It's appropriate to play an 80s mix if your average customer is 30-45 and more affluent. The problem is that it will feel inappropriate for customers over 55 and younger than 30. Grampa doesn't want to hear Missing Persons, even though the band was made up of some of the finest musicians of any era.

True about Grandpa, but don't you know that it is now "cool"...or something...(do they still say "cool?")...for under 30s to listen to music from the 80's as long as you only think its coolness is directly proportionate to its dorkiness. In this case, I think 80's music "dorkiness" is inversely proportionate to age, so the younger, the "cooler" 80's music is...
