I'd hear singles in later years and it was just mush - no structure, no pace, no focus, no hook, no direction home. It was just some doped up dirge. I couldn't figure out how he'd released it. What a waste. A nice bloke, most of the time. Such a shame. personally I haven't liked any of this music since last Christmas in 1984. Faith was ok, but a copy of close to me by the cure and the rest is forgettable.

Many artists and music biz types did back then - the one that really sticks in my mind is Michael Bolton. Of course the Gibb brothers took the 80s look even further by having their teeth capped to perfection. The mullet was only popular in the uk for about 6 months in 1985. This was during the time of live aid, so its significance has been inflated. I remember people at school getting their hair cut short on top and left long at the back, with the obvious jibes about when are you going go get the rest done. The very fashionable Wedge haircut or Perry haircut as sported by the human league girls, abc, some of duran was much more stylish and fashionable.
JK2006	I fear I was way beyond redemption hair-wise in the 80s - approaching and entering my 40s.
