THAT'S THE SOUND OF TOMORROW RINGING IN YR EARS

ITEM: Over on BoingBoing, John Cusack (yes, that one) reminisces about seeing the Up With People halftime show at Super Bowl XX.

I’m not quite as horrified by it as Cusack is, but it’s fair to say this video takes about 85% of everything that was wrong and bad and hideous about 1980s Optimist American Pop Culture (complete with fundamental misinterpretation of "Born In The USA") and compresses it all into ten hideous minutes.

Watch it. I dare you.

This, if yr wondering, is what drove me to embrace punk rock, Black Sabbath, nihilism, bourbon and writing pr0n stories as a way of life.

Naturally, I don’t regret a thing. Cheers, UWP!

Up the people,
