I don’t know much about this video, but it is obviously British, and obviously from the 80s. So that’s how to stay healthy.

Hey Baby! Knead my loaf
“Everybody Wants to Rule the World”, by Tears for Fears, 1984. If this is true, why do we end up with crappy leaders like George W Bush, John McCain, and Barack Obama? Wouldn’t you think there would be better choices? Is is that everybody wants to rule the world, but they’re too lazy to work to make it happen? Or is it that no one wants to put their past actions and words under the ridiculous scrutiny of the media? What does it take to want to become ruler of the world? Is it simply a self-aggrandizing excess of ego? Can’t we have a ruler who is a visionary leader? Not in this election cycle!

Charles and Diana
In 1981 Prince Charles of England married Lady Diana Spencer. The world was captivated by the wedding, and by the life of Diana. She became an iconic figure during the 1980s, and the decade was filled of news of the Princess. No, I don’t have anything snarky to say. For that, stay tuned for more stories of the British royals.

Why listen to this message?
Bronski Beat, 1984, singing “Why”. Jimmy Sommerville sings about gay-bashing and persecution, and it becomes a giant dance hit around the world. Here we are 24 years later, with gay marriage legal in many countries. I’m sure Jimmy is happy with the progress, but still fighting. Go Jimmy!
