I'm Mostly An 80's Child...

I wore out my vinyl copy of 'Dare' and believe I even brought it on tape before finally getting a CD when that was released. Back in 81, when I was around 7, there were no CD's even invented..let alone streaming!
Then...along comes '83 and Madonna...and I had finally found my soulmate music. Natch, there might have been a tiny bit of a crush on her too, but it was her music and her youthfulness and sheer energy that got me..
Of course, there was Yazoo, Duran Duran and Depeche Mode during the time too...before Tiffany and Debbie Gibson, then the Spice Girls, came along but I've always been a big fan of Madge...
I think I've seen every tour, more or less, since 1990. Granted, that was probably her peak, but she still puts on a great show and writes some really good music.
My partner, she's more the rock, country and blues type - anything with guitars - but her daughter loves The Spice Girls. We all went on their reunion tour a few years back and they didn't disappoint.
Our own daughter, although only 7 (she's 11 now), loves more complicated music - Steve Vai and Frank Zappa - so it's a real mish-mash of styles, but I try to get some me time with my music too.
Lady Ga Ga? Love her. Likewise Taylor...and I'm getting to like Miranda Lambert too..
But give me Madge and The Human League and I'll be happy for days..
