name-dropping love and rockets as an 8-year old might seem pretentious, but that track actually literally technically topped the charts, here. it's not a stretch to call it the song of the summer - it was in every restaurant, in every car, in every grocery store - it was that kind of thing. yes, i'm talking about so alive by love and rockets, which was a minor hit elsewhere in the anglosphere but a massive, smash hit in canada.
likewise, i explicitly remember seeing this video and being baffled by it.
what is this? a song? a play?
what the actual fuck?
i've mentioned before, though, that my actual opinion of prince at that age was that he was kind of ....gross.
and, it's easy to pull that out of this as well.
but, that's the kind of mind fuck i want to take note of, as an impressionable young child, and will be the component in the next update.
