Another Eighties Music Revival

The sudden eighties music craze had gone beyond the norm the local supermarket was swept along by the storm as more and more of the shoppers joined in with the revival filling up on nostalgia from t-shirts to CDs and vinyl Reaping the customer whirlwind for Boy George and Eurythmics tracks some smart Alec from head office said “This is no time to Relax!” the mullet headed store manager he looked a manic Midge Ure a sarcastic lad on the tannoy said “Sorry, but we’ve got no Cure” Over at customer services I said a mistake’s being made “The seventies had John Lennon Bob Marley, T. Rex, Slade!” the guy claimed to be sympathetic towards my point of view then asked me to go on a website and give him a Five Star review A wise woman sat at the checkout smiled to me as she said “When this fad blows over they’ll still want milk and bread” so the moral to this story is one of wisdom not sadness that everyone’s entitled to their little bit of Madness.
