Unhooked - Reading Drew's latest post on the 80's retrospective on VH1 this week, I'm reminded how completely out of touch with popular culture he can be. He describes I Love The 80's as "my generation's first stab at nostalgia." Does he ever watch TV or go to movies? Never heard of E! True Hollywood Story or That 80's Show or The Wedding Singer? (Just to name a very few examples that immediately pop to mind). Has he never heard a Flashback Lunch on any of the hundreds of station that have bought into this nostalgic cliche? It just annoys me that someone who always seems to be on top of the political news almost always misfires when it comes to entertainment news.
