Fake '88

SARAH CRACKNELL...nn“I am tired and I’m bored” he saidn“And I’ve got kinks in my bednThis work, how I hate it - I’d much rather playnNothing to do but I do need a rest”nn(Let’s just get started and make a mess)nnMorton stood up and said “What’s that?”nIt’s the 15th of May and I’m cold and I’m wetnHe turned without stopping and smiled to the pilotn“People weather the terrible storm”nn(A different space for us all)nnSTEPHEN DUFFY...nn“A scene from a film circa 1982. We drove down George Street, en route to Wendy's. Glen Campbell was on the radio singing about cleaning his gun and dreaming of Galveston. What's this? she said. It's Hall & Oates or nothing for me.nOf course, this was pre-House Nation and I asked her What is anyone going to remember this decade for? She paused for a second, then said:nnWaffle cardigans, Wentworth jail, rah-rah skirts straight out of Hell, Andrew ??? and BMX bikes, Chernenko and miners' strikes, Nikky Kershaw and Red Ken, Peter Tatchell and Dirty Den, Mark King slapped his bass, and early issues of The Face, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Margaret Thatcher, Toto Coelo, and Spycatcher, E.T., Arthur, Elmo's Fire, not a patch on Billy Liar, Phil Redmond and Transformers, Tin Tin Duffy in leg-warmers, Stu Damer, evil Tel, Roger Hebert, what a pal, Steven Waldorf, Jerry Gross, Do The Hucklebuck by Coast To Coast, Steve Blacknell on the telly, the classic beard of Altobelli, Leon Klinghofer, baby duck(?), blonde highlights, flourescent sock, Steve Lynex and Gordon Smith, Martin Fry grew a quiff, Haysi Fantayzee, Videotech, Shakey drove us crazy, what the heck, Hazel O'Connor in Breaking Glass, Gripper Stebson's in the class. nnAnd I said, I don't remember any of that. If you can remember the '80s you weren't there. Uh, you know, I remember Scott Crolla in his Furry Freak Brothers t-shirt, if that's any help.
