\"Culture<\/a>After leaving Space Mountain, <\/em>I slept for most of 3 full days. I felt exhausted but I’m sure that some level of depression was to blame as well. I moved back into mom’s house. Grandpa and I constructed a nice little bedroom in the basement. It had my old captains bed (which would be my son’s in 10 years) a comfortable old arm chair a desk on loan from my dad, a book case, and a TV table. It was cool in the summer and even cooler in the winter.<\/p>\n

As far as My Musical Evolution is concerned, this is an interesting development.\u00a0 The College Intermission<\/em> era goes from September, 1983 to September 1985. What may seem confusing is that during this same time period I’ll be experiencing The Rise And Fall Of ’84<\/em> and The Metal Years<\/em>.\u00a0 Essentially 3 threads all progressing simultaneously. Maybe it is a split personality thing. We’ll find out as we go.<\/p>\n

College Intermission<\/em> begins with the local radio. As I mentioned earlier, it seemed that the airwaves were being flooded with new MTV inspired artists and a somewhat signature sound. I’m opening up the era with Kissing To Be Clever<\/em> by Culture Club<\/em>. The reason I’m doing this is because of the aforementioned anomaly. I owned Kissing To Be Clever<\/em> on cassette but it had been months since I made the switch back to vinyl. I know it was on cassette because it had an instrumental version of Time (Clock Of The Heart) <\/em>on one of the sides to balance out the running time. That instrumental version did not appear on the vinyl or even Compact Disc versions. I had to have it on cassette.<\/p>\n

I recently asked Adam if we listened to Culture Club at Vermont Academy. We both agreed that we felt that we had not listened to Culture Club until college.\u00a0 I suppose it was possible that I got the cassette and then simply forgot that I listened to it during the Academy Days.\u00a0 <\/em>That has to be the explanation unless somebody gave it to me.<\/p>\n
