I Love The Nineties

So I’m sitting here with my best pal Hal Sparks, and we’re making a list and checking it twice.

Things I Love/Miss about the ’90s. [in no particular order]
Note: These things may not actually hail from the 1990’s, but tough shit, it’s my list, OK?

- The Insane Clown Posse
- Hypercolor T-shirts
- My So-Called Life
- Kennedy the VJ
- Hole
- Garbage
- Grunge as a viable fashion alternative
- Soundgarden
- the return of Hush Puppies
- Pogs
- Edward Scissorhands
- Nirvana, duh
- Lilith Fair
- Cypress Hill
- “Under the Bridge” by the Chili Peppers
- The Lion King
- Slap bracelets
- Rope bracelets
- Hemp everything [or was that just me?]
- River Phoenix
- Sassy magazine
- Real baby-T’s, babydoll dresses and Mary Janes
- Guns’n’Roses: “November Rain”
- Bill Clinton as president

Seems like life was pretty near perfect back then. Now everybody’s either sold out, died, or dropped off the face of the earth, and my favorite trends have been co-opted and mangled. Sigh …
