RE: Music Catharsis after a slump
That was last year of high school. Within a year or two, it was cassette tapes. Soooo much easier. I wonder what happened to those reels?
My reasons for swooning were probably a bit different.
The lyrics were the reason for your swoon and that crush you had on the head boy or Victor Lodourum bloke??
Actually, when I look it up, I was already 20 when the song came out, so not a teenager at all. That was the year I went out with an 18 year old punk rocker who introduced me to Elvis Costello, the Boomtown Rats and a variety of other punk and new wave bands. He probably introduced me to Patti too.
My last year at school I was only 16 (I skipped a year) and a lot younger than said boys, so waaay off their radar.
You may have been off their radar ... does not imply they were off yours {grin} ..there must have been 2 dozen girls at my school that I lusted after without them having a clue that I even existed {sob}
How did any of us get through those hellish teenage years?
It would be so fantastic to have these decades of experience and wisdom in those teenage bodies.... but I would never want that teenage angst again... As the sying goes...'Youth is wasted on the young'
