Loved this. Topics that needed your fine inspection. No matter that I was young and mostly untested by the beast of life, the wrenching shift of 70's merging into 80's was a palpable and rather bleak reality. Greed. Deluxe Edition. I felt it acutely. The times of which you write were truly fraught with trouble, but there was definitely more unity and less overreaction to many cultural differences in certain respects. These days, by comparison, we can observe what's killing us, if we look, but sometimes it's easier(apparently) to just not look. A firm memory for me; being 3, 4 years old , and the easy childhood ecstasy of The Beatles blaring from some mono carry along system in the backyard. I can also recall my mother's joy at me and three older siblings watching them on Ed Sullivan. I had the best mother. She loved The Beatles.
Great read. I wasn't aware of Daytime Revolution, thanks for this!
