80’s flashback

I was listening to a commercial radio station yesterday on my way to visit a client, and they were playing a “lunchtime of 80’s Hits” set. Why is it that in the 80’s when I was a teenager, I hated all this stuff yet now I hear it on the radio I’m into it? I also enjoy tuning into Chartbusting 80’s on C31! Is it just that I appreciate it more because of the absolute trash they play nowadays?

It’s not like I have a hankering for returning to the halcyon days of my mispent youth — this was not a particularly easy period of my life (for me or my parents!). Mmmm strange … maybe it’s because, in the words of Pink Floyd …

The sun is the same in the relative way, but you’re older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
