I visited Silverlake (Silver Lake?) recently and it disappointed the fuck out of me. Maybe I was in the wrong part, but there were like 2 hipsters and some kind of bohemian old lady stores. Maybe I'm too used to Vancouver, where they frolic in the open. L.A. hipsters seem to be more reclusive.

Will someone please confirm for me yes or no: will Obama's Death Panels Logan's Run the shit out of people who willingly live thru new wave for a second time?
I have to say that any contemporary artist that has "the eighties" as their subject is likely pandering to their audience's laziest impulses. Fine, fine: the recent past sure seems grotesque and weird and alienating these days--this was adequately established ages ago, THANKS.

Umm, wow. That article makes me feel extra stabby. Glad to see I'm not the only one.
As to aerobics? I sure did enjoy watching 'The :20 Minute Workout' as a lad in the early 1980s.
@yetimike: One of the best rumours I ever read in a book was that some Saudi offered the girls in that show $10,000 for a weekend of sex. The agent thought they'd be horrified. Naive agent. They bargained the Saudi up to $20,000 APIECE and then went.
Nothing says aerobics better than Jaime Lee Curtis and John Travolta in a leotard and shorts that may as well be a jock strap for all the riding up and pale white skin on display here. I give you Perfect.
I wanted to be there for Michael, really I did. But he was just so needy. All I ever got from him was "Help me, MisterHippity. Stay with me. Talk to me. Listen to my problems. Give me advice." It was all take take take, with no giving back. Finally I just couldn't take it any more.
I guess you're right, John Perry Barlow. I'm to blame. I wasn't there when he needed me. I guess I'm just gonna have to have that on my conscience for the rest of my life.

PS: The correct way to spell + pronounce it is "Silver La-KEH," with faux-French accent on last syllable of "lake."
