We’re the kids…
Was listening to some oldies (that is…1980’s) music and came across Kim Wilde “Kids in America” which reminded me of being out at a bar is Paris and hearing this song (as well as a couple times on the radio). It was cute that all these “kids” were bopping around to that song while Jason [...]

French pop teen culture
We had a dance party for a teenage girl who’s parents worked at DCL and are now leaving. So she invited 15 friends, about 30 came along with all their energy. And damn, it was fun watching them. They dressed to impress a la 80’s glam…which I, along with some other younger adults, just loved. [...]

Never have I ever thought I would be listening to a group that includes cheerleaders as vocalist. I guess there is a first time for everything.
