1980s......Live Forever
Music is the soundtrack to our lives...especially when we are young, and growing up almost too fast it seems.The memories are linked with a certain lyric, a melody, a tune you heard on the radio when something amazing or heartbreaking happened. The songs and artists who performed them live forever in our hearts and minds and become a part of us as we travel through lifes rocky roads on our journey to adulthood, becoming more experienced and wise to the ways of the world as we mature into a more balanced version of our younger selves. Still...once in a while we can look back and celebrate those bittersweet years and crazy times past with a mixture of joy, regret, and enlightened amusement remembering how passionate, hyper, reckless, nervous, fierce, moody, cool, and fearless we were as we plunged into the unknown future; yet despite our unsure footing we braved the storms of being judged by our peers, society and the wide world to conquer and become the generation that influences the ones after us. We are the kids of the 80s and we are totally AWESOME, dude...fer sure. ;^)
Onstage were Kin Wilde (my crush) and her brother Ricky. They brought the house down in an outdoor concert held at Audley End, in Essex England. As the music pulsed and the crown punched their fists in the air with a shout ...for a moment I was 16 again and I put on my sunglasses (at night) and lost myself in the bliss of the moment....finding the fountain of youth at last!
