I felt like an idiot writing this, but I was committed by the photograph, which I took earlier in the week. Yes, that's a lame excuse, but there you go. It is an interesting subject, though, why such a weird song would be such a massive, era-defining hit.<br /><br />You are right when you say: "In spite of its foreboding, there's also a sense of being on the brink of the unknown, the start of something..." It marked a change in the culture, that's for sure...and I feel similarly about Peter Gabriel's "Games Without Frontiers," which came out later that year, but was nowhere near as big a hit, but has that same sense of paranoia and anticipation -- and would eventually lead to his own mass-culture ascendancy with "So." Anyway, there's a lot to say about this stupid pop music stuff. And the 1980s were a very weird time to grow up.Rodger Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14447735420151521491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34883285.post-32820545829882316742010-07-05T10:37:21.411-05:002010-07-05T10:37:21.411-05:00Part 2:
