Vortex

  1. I just put youtube's "80s classic alternative" mix on while I do some paperwork, and I can feel

    the Aquanet in my hair and

    taste

    the cheap black lipstick and

    smell

    the clove cigarettes and

    see

    the blacklight and

    smell

    the sweet chemical smell of the fog machine and

    feel

    the laces of my boots crushing my jeans into my legs and...

    and this song was ten years on from that time but that's what it's about in the end and now it's thirty years gone.



    Young Iain, dancing in that juice bar in Chicago, was closer to Woodstock than he is to me today.

    I've been thinking the same thing. I'm still the same 17yr old idiot I was in LB, walking for scalpers, waiting for the next cool song on KROQ. 'Cept now, I'd be that kid's grandfather!
