Everybody's Crazy

Everyone was entitled to make a mistake here and there in the 80's. Whether it was junk bonds, or acid wash jeans, or even (gasp) dating Michael Bolton. It was a confusing time for many people: The era of divorce, aerobics, Lisa Lisa and The Cult Jam, and a crazy little thing called crack. The important thing is that we all lived and learned, and thank our lucky stars that no questionable videotapes have ever surfaced. As much as VH1 would like you to believe, you really can't go back to the 80's. This is much-needed advice to Nicolette Sheridan of Desperate Housewives who not only (gasp) dated Michael Bolton in the 80's, but has recently rekindled her relationship with him. How many times does she have to be smacked in the face with a "How Can We Be Lovers If We Can't Be Friends" on adult-contemporary radio before she realizes that no woman can tame that wild estrogen stallion? And didn't he realize the last time they dated that she's actually a man? Kids these days.

Luckily, everyone I dated in the 80's made the mistake of getting in a car with Vince Neil at some point, so they're all pretty much dead now. No chance of running into each other at The Center for High Colonics in Beverly Hills. Whew!

Don't forget - Respectable Street in downtown WPB this Saturday, January 7th with Truckstop Coffee, Gasoline Heart, and Dear and Glorious Physician. $6 - show starts at 9pm.

How can we make love if we can't make amends?
