This quote sums up to me the 1980s and that era in music and fashion:
“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.”
– T. S. Eliot
The other day I ducked into an Urban Outfitters store.
This was a cheaper bracelet purse I found. What’s not to love about cheaper?
Are they solely a New York City thing? Or throughout America?
Browsing Urban Outfitters reminded me of shopping in Unique Clothing Warehouse in the 1980s.
Remember Zoot? Antique Boutique? Trash and Vaudeville?

Now there’s a Starbucks on every corner.
What’s sad is that Tom Petty died. There was a tribute to his music on a WAYO show.
For a burst of music reminiscent of the 1980s you can go on WAYO FM.
The Sunday afternoon show streamed live via their Internet website features songs like the B-52s “Give Me Back My Man.”
Kate and Michael host the show. They’re two great disc jockeys.
The radio station broadcasts from Rochester, NY.
As of today, I’m writing a second memoir. I’m keeping its contents under wraps like a pashmina. I hope to publish this second memoir later in my fifties.
Just to say here it will be a version of Left of the Dial in overdrive.
