The Smithereens were an 80s powerhouse.
Fight me.

Jason and the Scorchers were pure Nashville, back when it was still Nashville, and country music's roots were still honored. While they blended rock and country, they also gave us tunes like "Still Tied" that are awash in pedal steel guitars, and heartache.

Lyrics:
I see your money on the floor I felt the pocket change though all
The feelings that broke through that door just didn't seem to be too real
The yard is nothing but a fence the sun just hurts my eyes somewhere
It must be time for penitence gardening at night it's never worked
Gardening at night
Gardening at night
Gardening at night
The neighbors go to bed at ten
Call the prayer line for a change
The charge is changing every month
They said it couldn't be arranged
We echoed up the garbage sound but they were busy in the rows
We fell up not to see the sun gardening at night just didn't grow
I see your money on the floor I felt the pocket change though all
The feelings that broke through that door just didn't seem to be too real
Gardening at night
Gardening at night
Gardening at night
Your sister said that you're too young
She should know she's been there twice
The call was two and fifty-one
They said it couldn't be arranged
We echoed up the garbage sound but they were busy in the rows
We fell up not to see the sun gardening at night just didn't grow
The yard is nothing but a fence the sun just hurts my eyes somewhere
It must be time for penitence gardening at night it's never worked
Gardening at night
Gardening at night
Gardening at night
A good morning for black coffee in bed...

This is my Sharkey #introduction
You can call me Dane.
I started out on the fediverse arooooound...I wanna say 2017/18 mebbe? My big start in social media was MySpace. Before that, I had a LiveJournal (which I miss mightily with all my heart). My very first computer was a Gateway PC, back when they shipped them to you in those awesome cow spot pattern boxes. I am trying to de-google my life.
I'm #ADHD and suffer from #dysthymia. I'm currently unmedicated. I can be damned moody at times, so there's your warning.
Religiously/spiritually speaking, I'm complicated. That will be a long post, when I get around to writing it. My general rule is: I have my thing. It's not everybody's thing, and that's cool. Not everybody's thing is my thing, and that's cool. Just don't be a wanker towards those whose thing ain't your thing. OM
I'm 57 years old and have come to the conclusion that we never truly appreciate the decades we grew up in until we hit middle age.
I'm single and childless, hence my user tag: TheLastOfHisName.
And now, a hefty list of hashtags....

The Smithereens' record 'Green Thoughts' came out today, March 22, in 1988. Happy anniversary to one of my favorite albums by one of my favorite bands. This is a pic of the two copies I have on vinyl, the one on the left is signed by all the guys in 1988 (albeit to someone else -- I'm not Lance, and I was 8 in 1988). But it's a great piece, and I grabbed it around 1999.
Hyper Jam - A song that a #neurodivergent is hyper-fixated on. Played on repeat until the neurodivergent's brain is satisfied.

I loved being a teenager in the 80s. We were colossally spoiled, music-wise.
"And I fell under your spell
And I lay where I fell
So wind down your window
I think I'm gonna kiss you
I don't know what else to do
You send me..postcards from paradise..."
