Picture a time, 70 years from now, the world will be going through the ’80’s again. By then everyone will have gone through their own ‘Sixties’ and ‘Seventies’. Right now we don’t have to clarify that a song was from the 1980’s and not the 1880’s. But in 2080 they may have to do just that.

“I sure hope they play ‘The Monitors, Singing in the 80’s’. Then they’ll get the opportunity to say “this little gem is from a hundred years ago, but it still rings true” says The Sheik “and thank god I won’t be around to hear that kind of crap!” he adds.
