- 9.99, + 20…
So, you want the past 20 years back in a flash? Go spend $9.99 to download the new B-52s album Funplex (heh, I said “album”). One shout-out from Fred and, I swear, you’ll be right back in the late 80s, yelling nonsense about tin roofs.
And, if that’s not enough, tune in to tvland’s High School Reunion… one of the more bizarre reality shows I’ve watched to date (though not quite on par with Mr. T). Supposedly they sequestered these people away in some lodge in Hawaii for their twentieth high school reunion. And oy, the drama! Adulterous ex-wives cheating with best friends! Widower dude who’s suddenly smitten with the nice girl and, oh wait! too bad, she already has a boyfriencd! And token lesbian girl wants to try out the boys (thank goodness they didn’t have her “convert.” Especially not for this dude.)
Anyway, it’s good fun to watch but I cannot, in my wildest dreams, imagine that this is how my own twentieth reunion would go (which is, gulp, this year!). I more imagine that all of the cliques will hole up in their own little groups, so hey! it’ll be high school all over again. We might as well have it in the old gym and hire Loverboy. Is Jessica McClintock still in business?
