I get on a high horse sometimes about how much everything sucks these days. Radio sucks, music sucks, TV sucks, movies suck, yadda yadda yadda.

The 80's, the decade of my prime, now THAT was a decade, right?

The 80's RULED, right?

Every single time I get on that "This generation sucks, the 80's generation ruled" kick, the quickest way to get my feet back on the ground is to force myself to watch this video in its entirety:

To really appreciate this video ... to take in just how awful, scary and upsetting it really is... you have to pause it and study certain frames.

The You Tube counter counts backwards, so hit the pause button at these specific timer points ... study the frames and take in everything that was bad about the decade of my prime:

2:09-- David Bowie, gay gypsy vampire.

2:06-- David Bowie, coked out zombie.

1:46-- Mick Jagger, 40 pounds of lips and not a tooth in sight.

1:42-- Dear Lord help us all.

1:20-- Come on, Mick, you couldn't go THREE MINUTES without a beer??

1:10-- Why did they shoot this video in a crack house? Ooooh, I suppose that's because this is Mick Jagger's crack house.

1:08-- One of the side effects of snorting coke is spontanious leg spasms.

1:02-- ...and arm spasms.

0:51-- Who the hell are they looking at? Have they forgotten where the camera is?

0:33-- Well whattaya know, Bowie finds Jagger as creepy as the rest of us do.

0:28-- Mick thinks "What's Dave doing? Squatting down? I better squat down, too. Nobody squats on Mick Jagger!"

0:16-- "Someone help us... we wandered away from the home after lunch and now we're lost and it's almost time for our pills..."

0:02-- The final insult.
