So many aspects of current pop culture make me feel like I never left my teenage years. American Idol, with its beautiful airhead Jason Castro, garage band cutie David Cook, chorus geek David Archuleta, gorgeous student body president Syesha Mercado. Facebook, where blasts from your past can quickly re-friend you by searching your hometown or school. My quickness to embrace the revival of bangs and flats and giant canvas bags (they used to say ESPRIT & carry text books, now they tote groceries) in current fashion. Talk of a 90210 spin-off.
It’s enough to throw one back into a mental time machine and bring back all the longing and pain and well, cheap paperbacks and cable-less TV watching! Care to try? See if you find any of the following names familiar:
Can you taste the angst? Feel the longing? Now go kiss over a cake on a glass table with your love.
And if you live in certain states, don’t forget to vote today…for David Cook for Prom King!
What? You thought I was referring to something meaningful?
Thanks to Jen and Tonic for jogging my memory with a mention of Cathy cartoons (Irving) on Twitter.
