Platinum Blonde is also back with a new album and tour. Many of us love the 80s, which saw the BEST music of all time released. But keep on snickering, we don't care.MarcDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08671486811623428553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1097680060032357322004-10-13T11:07:00.000-04:002004-10-13T11:07:00.000-04:00Wonderful sentiment!

I remember watching an old Platinum Blonde (the Canadian Duran Duran wannabes) video and realizing just how horridly pathetic their musicianship, choreography and overall packaging was.

But then, when I heard one of their songs on the radio the other day, I realized how synthetic their music was and decided that part of the '80's really doesn't need to be relived.
