I see that yet another hero from the past has proved to be all too human. I wish my memories of Adam as a highway man could have been left in tact (sob!). Another one bites the dust Bethalize Deskdemon Forum Board Staff |

 He was one of my favorites! I thought he was soo hot! Does anyone remember when MTV used to have live concerts on (I think it was) Saturday nights? I can still remember the night they did Adam Ant, and my girlfriend and I dressed (like an Ant) for the occasion. It was such fun! DonnaP99 |

Have to say old Adam wasn't really a favourite of mine but oh you've set me into reminisce mode now - there I was aged 10 and drooling over my first love, Donny Osmond, then aged 12 and falling Truly Madly Deeply for Les McKeown of the Bay City Rollers, then aged 14 my heart belonged to Dave Bartram of Showaddywaddy. I speak as a teenager of the 70's - oh those were the days!!!!
Love

I was a teenager of the 80s....
Simon Le Bon from Duran Duran did it for me (especially in the video for Wild Boys...phwoar!!)
I used to quite fancy Paul Young as well...
Ah how young and foolish I was back then...

Ah yes! I remember the video well. I used to watch some after-school chart video show every day, and 'Every Time You Go Away' was on a lot.
I think the microphone thing was part of the attraction...I was about 15 at the time.

Paul Young was on the recent "Here and Now" tour over the UK - a band of Eighties acts reliving past glories. The highlight for the first tour was Heaven 17 - as if the last twenty years hadn't happened! Adam was supposed to be headlining the up and coming H & N tour .... whether he will now is another matter. And on the subject of Eighties stars coming to grief ... on Top of the Pops 2 last night (retro music show in the UK), they featured The Skids - late 70s New Wave band, with a guitarist by the name of Stuart Adamson Yup, I'm just another Eighties child. |

I remember Amazin Raisin bars! And when a Curly Wurly out-chewed everything else for 3p ....
I suppose I consider myself an Eighties child as that's when I was first really aware of Life, the Universe and Everything - born in the Sixties, so a lot of the Seventies was a blur and rather above my head.

Of course! Curly Wurlies - we used to have Curly Wurly stretching contests - put one end in your mouth and slowly pull the other end. The chocolate used to slowly crack and drop off! Not one to boast but I was a Curly Wurly stretcher supreme!!!

I fall in the Eighties range... born in early 70's and never really aware of anything till the 80's. And even then, growing up where I did we didn't get many movies, it was a big deal when VH1 finally was shown on our TVs, so my music memories of the time are more country'ized. Though when I hit Freshman in HS I started rebelling a bit and listened to Georgia Satelites and a couple of ACDC songs (the more ballad types). Sade was a fav singer of mine for a while, too. But I was more interested in older music (for the times) such as Jan and Dean, Beach Boys, and other beach or drag-type music. My father swore he must have been the only parent in town who had to fight his kids for his records. I kept them all in my room and played them often. Then Conway Twitty, Dave and Sugar, Hank Snow, and other country artists were available if I wanted a change. (See why Georgia Satelites was rebelling? Must admit to being left in the dark regarding some of what y'all have discussed.  But I'm glad we have such a mish-mash of tastes and styles cause it makes life (and these boards) more fun and interesting. CountriGal

Well CG, looks like you and I are almost in the same category here, except I always stood by my Country Music roots (think country music fan in Upstate New York, NOT GOOD) here and alot of folks gave me flack for it in high school. But ya know that didn't stop me from listening to other stuff once in a while like AC/DC, Pat Benetar (sp), Kiss, Poison (brothers influence here). But give me my good Country music and I am a happy camper. While in Junior high and high school til' it went off the air is John Schneider and Tom Wopat (Dukes of Hazzard), yup every Friday night). It was a sad day when they went off the air, but understood why. Until TNN picked them up a while ago, but I see now they are gone from the line up under the new (The National Network). Favorites for me in the 80's I guess would have to be Conway Twitty, Barbara Mandrell, Loretta Lynn, Tanya Tucker, Reba McEntire, Dolly Parton. Later in the 80's would be Randy Travis of course, Alan Jackson, Clint Black, Dwight Yoakam. But there are the all time favorites such as George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Glenn Campbell. Chris68
