How I Was Saved from Disco

While I am loathe to admit it, I danced on a lighted dance floor. I did The Hustle. I was quite underage to be going to clubs, but that's what we did. Those were the times I grew up in.

And I was saved.

Saved by The Clash, like Train In Vain.

Saved by Bob Marley, like One Love.

Saved by Parliment, including Atomic Dog.

Saved by Prince, like Controversy.

Saved by the Talking Heads and the other Elvis, what's so funny?

Saved by Grandmaster Flash The Message.

Saved by a great musical base formed by listening to the radio, growing up in Motown.

Got me on a path through the worst of 80s music to the nirvana of the next decade.
