am I taller than Solgaard?...

So, after a lengthy discussion about the merits of relationships between two persons with a common understanding of truth*, I decided to write a post about the top 5 musical acts to come out of the eighties.

The conlcusion:

U2
Paul Simon
Madonna
The Hip (Those of Tragic nature)
The Police
**

Here was also discovered, the eighties is the only generation for a which a list such as above is appropriate and/or possible. Reason being, the 90's is too easy, too convoluted (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alanis...), in the 70's there's too much to choose from, same case in the 60's and the 50's is a little beyond my time to make an accurate judgement.



*This acts as a bit of a teaser. Proof that I'm capable of discussion at slightly more relevant depths, but then, a choice to write in vanity.

**Hon. Ments include: Bob Marley and The Cure.

Forget the 80's...what are the merits of relationships between two persons with a common understanding of truth?

glad to see that my good friends U & 2 topped the list. sometimes i feel too pop culture for loving them so much. and then i realize...i dont care. i do and i am pretty sure i always will.

okay this is fairly perfect example of a bad friend material, but i don't know what your g-mail account is. so thus this is the chosen form of communication. yes there should be contact sometime soon, although your classes must have changed cause i look down the hall for you, but have yet to see you. so if there is not contact from you soon, i have no choice but to call.
and i do agree that MJ would have to be on the list.
