  The women may love the guy, but I think as a person he has a lot to be desired. He is rude to his workers, inconsistent in his leadership, and not very loyal to those in his employ.

• Salvaging the 80's: Roots Rock (A random playlist)

  There's not a whole lot good to recall about the early 1980's for the rock fan. Indeed, few eras were drearier, few eras held less promise for the future. Punk, new wave, power pop, ska, and the other rock revolutions from the late 70's had passed their peak and were in decline. MTV had helped to end the reign of most of the remaining 60's and 70's survivors, even radio stations were abandoning rock in droves.
