Nostalgia

I was talking about Betty Davis which lead to watching Kim Carnes' "Betty Davis Eyes" - after which YouTube suggested I watch "I Come From the Land Down Under" by Men at Work. Both were awesome. What followed hit me hard in the middle of my nostalgia nerve. Nena's classic 99 Red Balloons holds a special place in my gut. When I started taking German in the sixth grade, I remember translating the words from the original German version into English. As I watched with Tosso, I was embarrassed to find myself crying. That is, until I looked over at Tosso and saw him filled with emotion as well. And by the way, Nena is so friggin hot in the video. Watch it!
