Yes, while the kids of the Eighties were playing with things like Cabbage Patch dolls or Teddy Ruxpin, the rest of us were making fun of people who didn't know they were a pretentious trendy (Track 20). We wanted to be Beat Boys in the Jet Age (Track 14) while dreading white noise on the FM dial (Track 1).
The best of us have always maintained that people have the right to change (Track 24), and I hope that's the message you recall at the end of the 80-minute thrill ride!
