26 Sep '05 - 168 W - + 3 - 7 Back To The 80s

Why am I so keen on wombling on about the '80s anyway....? Well, as some of you may know from my web site, Dark Neon ::Back To The 80s, I spent (misspent?) much of the early 80s as a pop music journalist. One day I'd be waking up Lemmy at half past three in the afternoon and trying to interview him as he sipped his breakfast (half a pint of vodka and orange); another day I'd be interviewing Toyah in a bunny rabbit costume (Toyah that is, not me). They were great days.... and then came the nineties.... :-(

Anyway, bizarre as it seems, the 80s appear to be coming back into fashion. Frankly, I never realised they'd gone out of fashion in the first place. So, heck! I thought the time has finally come around again to start having fun. That's what the 80s Empire is all about. I hope lots of like-minded folk will help the party go with a swing!

I read the Flexipop magazines where you did an interview with Heaven 17 and they were great. I can only imagine what didn’t make it into print. Can’t wait to see what you do with this website.

Ah, the fabled Heaven 17 interview. I think that was the issue that was seized by the police after a granny complained that the photostory encouraged cannibalism! Ah, happy days…. Don’t know if we can hope to achieve such heights here on The Empire. We can but try :-)
