But I do believe our pasts make us who we are plus there is simply much pleasure to be had in exploring our own and identifying with others' experiences, etc. too. So bring it on! Look forward to seeing more here on past, present and future.

I’m not normally a nostalgic person but I must admit that Sun Dried Sparrows has motivated me to start rummaging through some of my own old folders and so there’s going to be a bit more about the good old days. Like you I have mixed feelings about the 80’s, but there most definitely was a sea-change and much of the mess we’re in now quite directly leads back to things that happened then. (Ooh can feel myself getting all hot and bothered again - must go and have a lie down I think...)A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13142931714121592395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123381635701729020.post-81783603415778319902011-06-23T10:05:52.682+01:002011-06-23T10:05:52.682+01:00Sorry, me again!

My memory is of it being weirdly paradoxical, on the one hand listening to/watching Crass (my b/f's band frequently supported them) and living in constant fear of an impending nuclear war, on the other hand the ordinary person's need to stake one's place somewhere, somehow, (almost like if you can't beat 'em, join 'em?) You said it better than I could! Nice post.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.com
