Chiming into say yes to watching My So-Called Life! It's such a Gen X time capsule, but the storytelling and performances are beautiful, and still hold up. (But totally understand about the Leto of it all.)

Co-sign to watch it for the angst of changing teenage friendships. The adult storylines and actors are great too. And it’s only one season.

I remember watching one or two and feeling torn about Angela and Rayanne’s friendship. Curious how I’d feel about it all now!

Yeah will def watch. I am overdue. It’s so funny now when I watch old things I relate so much more to the parents/authority figures

I know, I know 😬 It’s one of those big moments I missed back then so will be interesting to watch it from a full grown adult perspective. And lol Leto

I know I should. It’s a real hole in my pop culture knowledge!

So glad I kept my parking lot tee from my third Dead show at Joe Louis arena. I used to swim in it— now I look like a sausage. But I can still wear it! I also have a concert tee from Paul McCartney’s performance in Paris on John’s bday in 1989.

Oh yay I’m so glad you wear it and you had great intuition to get the parking lot tee!

I’ve noticed that of-the-era band tees have gotten stoopid expensive, when I see them in my town (Victoria). I bought a 1985 Platinum Blonde tour shirt for $60 and thought it was pretty pricey…but I was at the show back then (but couldn’t afford it), so it was worth it. I guess I got a deal!

Great article!💕

Oh wow that was a smart investment and total steal looking at it now! Definitely hold onto that one. I was wondering why those hair band tees were so expensive and it’s so funny to me it’s because they’re considered some sort of underground find. Aw thank you for reading!!
