It happened last week. My mother was in the nursery home in the Netherlands, she is 90 years old and in the last days of her life. My wife and me were in the car, coming from Denmark on our way to the Netherlands, to make sure to be in time before she passed away. When we were half an hour on the road, we got a phone call from the nursery home, that my mother just passed away. We did not make it and were too late. I pulled the car aside on a parking lot, and just when we stopped, the Simple Minds - Alive and kicking was played on the Danish radio. Just on the exact moment that we heard that my mam passed away. My wife and and me hugged each other and bursted in tears. I miss you mam, R.I.P., be alive and kicking in heaven.

I'll be 60 years old this year. I've lived almost six decades and yet, the best music still came from the 80's. And there's not just one powerhouse group. There were dozens and dozens. Simple Minds may have been just one of many but they were never just Simple Minds. Their music rocked stadiums, night clubs, and many private parties in the Air Force dorms. We had the best music, the best clothes, and the biggest hair. Never been another decade like it. Never will be.

As we age into our late 40's, we begin to realize that we are aging, we do not have the same energy that we once had, we also begin to reflect on the past, and most of us long for a simpler time, a time when we had youthful energy, and the only thing that we had to fear was Russia and their nukes In our later years, most of us begin to reflect on life, and most of us would much rather return to the years of our youth. Every generation goes through this, every generation thinks that the music of their youth is the greatest music ever. Oh, how I would like to return to 1988 when all I had to worry about was English class. Now I am 49 years old, and I make $70,000 a year for driving a truck/lorry. My home is debt free, my only child is now 25 years old, life is much easier, but somehow, I long to return to the times when I was absolutely broke, but I had youthful energy, and above all I was YOUNG. Now, people who appear to be in there 30's call me sir.....probably because my beard is mostly grey. I do not feel almost 50 years old, but I am this old, and I am starting to look the part.......so fuckit, I will adapt.

1985... I was 13 and blossoming. Life was about to become so exciting! My big brother who just turned 16 took me to see Breakfast Club and I had that tingly feeling when you leave and the credits are blaring and you know the movie changed you a little. What I wouldn't give to go back, if only for a while. ❤

Excellent romantic ballad by Scottish New Wave Rock band Simple Minds, lead singer Jim Kerr. One of the Top Ten songs of 1985!
