@Defiance@SpaceAce I also had a very non mainstream 80s experience as a counterculture kid. Folks were leftists/peace freaks, I was a punk and metal kid that was also into early rap and late E-funk (Rick James etc) and hated everything about the "Reagan Eighties" except some of the pop music - always liked Prince, Madonna, INXS, lots of others. Plus I grew up near the Chapel Hill indie music scene, which was second only to Athens for awhile (and drew a lot of Athens talent for shows)
