Every now and then when people complain about the music that "kids these days" listen to, I have to remind them of things like this from the '80s:

It seems as if when people reach the age of 30 or so, they forget everything that happened before age 18.

I still love this song.

I do, however, remember several songs that are nearly as bad.
It's only embarrassing though if I actually LIKED THEM at the time :)

Also, sometimes I think people WANT to forget some of the crap they did/listened to... just to embarrassed... I know if I was Tigre or Bunny I would be horrified ;)

But seriously, I remember seeing an interview with Vanilla Ice in 2002 or so, where they made him rewatch a live performance from 1991. He admitted he looked quite ridiculous, but I think his music is still listenable even if it's cheesy as hell.

Well, Vanilla Ice also raged against his publicity, even at the time. I doubt there is any artist in history that loathes his past the way he does. In some ways it's a damned shame... if he could learn to get comforatble in his own skin, he would be welcomed back into the industry, as he actually is quite talented. Alas, he is such a jerk, due his own insecurities, that no one wants to have anything to do with him.

Also, I didn't know there was that much history with Vanilla Ice. Now I want to go read about him on wikipedia, though I need to get back to work so I'll have a look later.
