Just an excuse or just can’t count? Same decade? Gotta stay in that lane? But that’s insane. Time doesn’t work that way,. It’s an arbitrary division. Coming of age in the ‘80s. After ‘83 that decade was all but static ‘til the 90s. That age gap had no effect. We both fell into The GAP. We’re the MTV age cohort. We’re the arcade, Valley Girl. Same experiences, more or less. We’re the New Wave. Tiffany and Paula Abdul, not much difference. But those before, maybe born the same decade, but not the same experience. They were Bee Gee’s. They were KISS. We were exposed, but that wasn’t our time. More in common with me than 1963, even ‘65. We’re cassettes and Walkmans, babe, not 8 tracks and Ziggy Stardust.
