Summing up what was wrong with the 80s...

[forgetmenot]

omg that makes me laugh that is so funny I treat people like you :lol:

 

[Jazzey]

I treat people like you and Violet.

:lol: And, I sue for malpractice, people like you. :lol:

Typical distraction technique from a lawyer...

• You can't sue for malpractice if I deliver on my claims to cure you.
  
• The fact is that I never listened to Wham!
  
• 20 years later you're still listening to Wham!

I think it's pretty clear who has a problem here.

 

[forgetmenot]

Sorry no cure for whamitis not yet anyways. I do like Gowan your a strange animal that song was so neat i just watch video for it.

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Gowan was a strange animal. I don't think he really ever had another hit, did he?

 

[forgetmenot]

Criminal mind was excellent as well he is a strange character though he makes me laugh

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Wham! should have been charged with criminal fraud for posing as entertainers. :rofl:

Whenever I heard "Wake me up before you go go", I thought, "No, don't you dare... just go. Anywhere. Just go. And don't come back!".

I am so ashamed to admit that I really liked Wham as well. Thank goodness this is an anonymous forum or I would be hesitant to come out about my Wham appreciation. As a pre-teen, I had the biggest crush on George Michael. I just thought he was so cute. Sadly, I was also a big fan of Culture Club and Boy George. Eek that is embarrassing.

 

[Jazzey]

:lol:

Yay!! Another one

And who didn't dance to:

YouTube - Culture Club - Karma Chameleon (Ledge Music Electro 80...

in the 80s, really??

(and, who was actually hip in those days - before the nay sayers start spewing again. )

These ego-dystonic addictions are treatable, Murray. Take that first step today and call a Culture Club or Wham! Crisis line. You don't have to suffer alone. (Well, if you still want to listen to Wham! or Culture Club, you probably do have to suffer alone. Good luck trying to find anyone who will listen with you!)

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Yay!! Another one

It's starting to look like a pandemic.

 

[Murray]

You're right Dr Baxter, I think even my husband would draw the line there. Those marriage vows covered lots of things, sickness, health, etc, but probably not sharing a spouse's 80's musical taste. He just shakes his head in confusion whenever I mention what I listened to back in the day.

 

[Jazzey]

...I thought that I'd snuck back into this thread when THE 'nay-sayer' was offline....

Murray - do not, I repeat, DO NOT fraternize with the 'anti-80s' faction...Ok, the only exception being your husband. But even then, the permission is tenuous at best :teehee:

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Murray - do not, I repeat, DO NOT fraternize with the 'anti-80s' faction...

When did I say I was anti 80s? I titled this thread "what was WRONG with the 80s" (and there were a lot of things wrong).

But I could also start a thread about what was RIGHT with the 80s.

 

[Jazzey]

addendum: Do not, I repeat, DO NOT fraternize with the nay-sayers about Wham, Culture Club or any other teenie-boppy music we may have enjoyed in our hay day.

There -that should cover us off.

 

[David Baxter PhD]

I don't think what you were enjoying was hay...
