Matt's Song of the Day

An aging Gen X'er, who grew up listening to The White Album on his Fisher Price record player, would like to brighten your day with a song.
"This Charming Man" would probably be next in line for me.

This is the greatest pop song of the 80s.

Yes, there's nostalgia. The frisson of sneaking down to my basement to watch the video on that new cable station my parents had banned us from watching.

But the song is perfect. Crepuscular. At once innocent and world-weary. And so, so evocative.

Five straight days on the glorious if not remunerative legacy of Messrs. Lee, Case, and Collins.

I remain ready to shell out more money than I should to see a reunion show, but I remember laughing at how on point this article was when it came out:

Fun to see these local boys play last night. A heaping dose of southern high school nostalgia, and today a sore head.

And they did it! I think.

I try to post videos that can get the artist paid. (Haha. Yes. I know.) But I have to add a photo of the album this song originally appeared on. Stiff Records ❤️
