Hair Bands, John Hughes & Apple | 2.21.2005


I grew up in the 80s but I'm a product of the 90s. What I mean to say is that I retain almost no good memories about that decade. High school was herd mentality, something I dislike even more than frozen food, and the airwaves were dominated by XTC, Rockwell and Flock of %#*&. Special thanks to my dear wife, Joanne, "J", "Joe", "Babe" and "Hey" for having TIVOed MTVs 80s videos. Not all was a wash. I discovered design, had a cool motorcycle(s) (Check out my Life-graph and see how that all ends) and I bought my first MAC.

I remember these really innovative and strangly cool ads hitting TVs all over America. Some felt like car ads and others were like a visual commercial of Animal Farm. They were all about the approach of a new computer called Macintosh. I haven't seen the ads since the 80s and just came upon them a few days ago. If you didn't grow up in the 80s, you'll find them cheesy but cool. If you are a product of the 80s, you're likely to remember these ads and possibly a lot more you'll want to forget.
