Hey now, any decade that witnessed the musical birth/death/rebirth cycle
of Lou Reed *at least* three times can't be all bad. Let's not forget,
while we're on this somewhat more genteel topic that Bowie peaked in the
70s, Funkadelic provided the basslines for an entire generation of
sampler-happy teenagers and Debbie Harry and Afrika Bambataa "cooked the
whole [rap] thing up". Uh wait, scratch that last one, I'm still thinking
over that post with a quizzical expression.
