“He had understood long ago that the past was no better than the present. That was as plain as day. One had to try to escape, to wrestle free from every era, so as not to be devoured by it.”
― Lyudmila Ulitskaya, The Big Green Tent (2011)

@icastico haha I like to think I *almost* saw Oingo Boingo play in '82/'83 - they once played a big dance at my high school, a couple years before I could reasonably attend. Me and a friend did sneak within earshot of the gymnasium to clearly hear Danny & the boys start into “Grey Matter” - but we got chased away at full sprint by security goons 😞
