My post is clear as can be.
Post your favorite music videos from the 80s.

all good,,,save for steve earle. who the **** is this guy, with some cheap Apocalypse Now intro?
two brief about the Sister- Music aside, what made TW's two 80s hits popular was the cheesy storyline, both staring Mark Metcalfe as the now civilian version of his immortal animal house role as rotc cadet Douglas C. Niedermayer: the wife in this video even name drops " Douglas C." so the band and the director all must have been huge fans of Animal House.
- last spring in Europe, my friend and i were taking pictures at an Opera House when i saw a guy making some weird gestures toward us/(me?). my NYC upraising gives me an on-call shoot first, run away situational awareness in cities. i pointed him out to my friend and she laughed it off saying the guy was harmless.
he starts to walk toward us and i'm ready to leave, when he starts pointing at my chest. my friend explains that he's Greek and his hand gestures were an expression of " love": he loves Twisted Sister, whose t-shirt i'm wearing.(my friend never been to greece, but a childhood friend was part greek and she keeps in touch with his cousins. she also learned some greek and greek culture. go figure)
his english was almost non-existent, my greek dead and buried, she knew enough to communicate a little. google translate to the rescue! turns out he was a true 80s Hair Band fanatic. we bonded over Twisted sister
The power of pop culture to connect!

Not my favorite. This is just one video from that music era that I liked.
I liked how the video describes the lyrics of the song. The song has a powerful message about what it is like for the victim in an abusive relationship with a controlling person. And the isolation felt. -

Love These!
Take On Me is a personal favorite. The video was one of many I use to stop and watch!
These are all so much fun.
