HOW PERRY CREATED A ROCKPOOL FOR US ALL

摘要

1984 was a cracking year it seemed, except perhaps for Bordeaux, which produced the most tragic vintage of the century. Hawkie was PM, still on the gas and funny as hell. Sadly, he's probably the last politician who will ever, openly set a beer-chugging record and be proud of it. Prince was pouring Purple Rain out of our new Sony Discman players and a quirky computer called the Apple was taking every groovy pre-nerd in its stride. Fashion was very much of the New Romantic style with skinny jeans, skinny ties and close cropped facial hair (mmmm - that seems familiar, doesn't it, Ed?) or the Miami Vice style (my preferred couture) of Hawaiian shirts and deck shoes.
