It's a 'funny' one, this. I think maybe it would help me just to share it, put it out there. In the UK there was a time when music was just so intense, especially affecting if you was of a certain age, just entering life. So for me at about 13 I was presented with amazing music that blew my mind and still does, i just can't help it as it was the timing of growing up, almost too much such was the powerfullness of it all on a virgin mind. knocked me for six and have never recovered.
At school the girls would say, 'Sir, it it ok to have the radio on?' and he said, 'Yes, but keep it low, but if anyone comes in turn it off'. He sent me to a classroom to pick up some stuff but when I got there I looked through the window and thought 'i just didn't want to go in as they looked so strict', so i went back and told him I didn't want to go in. He said, 'L---, I'd call you a c***, but that's a good thing, you're about as much use as a Nun's c***'. I'm just telling it as it was in that era. And then there was the music. It was really something to come to terms with, though you didn't really know that then, you just took it in with what was presented, not knowing any difference, but now i can see it was was an amazing time which I was lucky enough to experience at that age. Soooo amazing. I've never got past it because it was such a formative age. I count myself lucky, looking at recent years, It was raw, and swamping all before. A very special time, the late 70s.
No More Heros.......as in not in life ever again to be a hero....what do you get for it, an ice pick that makes your ears burn. Somewhat a bit better than the school English lesson, so how could you deny it.
This track saying don't be fooled by all the pressure to live your life the way the gov would like, leave 'em to it and do your own thing.
How could you not be affected?
That was punk/new wave coming at you, but here was other genres, too, but even these were just as powerful and affecting:
This one, you're wasting your time doing what you're doing; you're just wasting for the rat race, wasting your time. How can you ignore this warning and not question it all?
And there was loads of others, an amazing time. I count myself so very lucky.
All-in-all, I reckon it made me be 'well rounded' and i am happy with me as i hope I can empathize with others
