Yes, i remember 'Webster'

And 'the facts of life' and ronald reagan and alex p. keaton. And yes i remember reo speedwagon, loverboy and the soundtrack to 'rocky iv.' I'm not pretending it was a decade of unalloyed brilliance; i'm just saying some of what went on was pretty rad.

Ok, magic 8pod - what's your take on the 80s? Greed by Fugazi. Well, that couldn't have been more perfect, could it?

If you haven't seen it, check out Fugazi's Instrument. It's netflixable, i think, and totally worth your time.

Since the 8pod is so right on today - what is this dream job of mine going to look like? Goodbye (finale) from WIlliam Finn's Elegies Beautiful celebration of magnificent lives - 'the living was the prize; the ending's not the story' To which i would add:
'Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future,
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable.'

Maybe not exactly what i was looking for, but there it is.
