: but probably not much deeper than the nineties or even today. Indy is of course one of my favorite examples of eighties pop culture. In rock and roll I have to agree that the Pogues were pretty great. Elvis Costello started the eighties great (with his best albums), had a lull, than finished strong. Jazz in many ways hit an all time low in the eighties. It seems to have made a recovery. One of my favorite latin bands (Manny Oquendo and Libre) made two of their finest records in the eighties. Martin Scorsese made his greatest movie "Raging Bull" (or at least it came out) in the eighties. I think style-wise, Indiana Jones is one of the few to escape the eighties unscathed. Regards

: : These are a few o' mine:

: : film: "Raiders" (gee, I couldn't decide between this and "Ishtar")
: : books: The "Fletch" series by Gregory McDonald
: : musical group: Shane MacGowan & the Pogues
: : TV: probably "Late Night" with David Letterman
: : comics: The Hernandez Brothers' "Love and Rockets" and "Mr. X"

: : uh... what am I forgetting?

: : Anybody else care to dip back into their lost youth?
