Davey Loves the 80's

TheLovesList.com interviewed Davey about what he loved most about the 80s, including fashion, music, and wrestling, among other things. Below is an excerpt, and you can click here to read the whole thing.

MTV made it's initial debut in 1981. Do you remember the first video you saw that absolutely blew your mind?
When MTV came out there was this strange phenomenon of fear being a part of watching videos. For me, as a kid, there was always this risk that I might see something frightening (or if I  was, lucky something sexual) on MTV.  I loved, videos. They were so revolutionary, modern, and taboo. I vividly remember seeing "Don't Come Around Here No More," and being quietly, terribly upset when Alice got eaten like a birthday cake. It really freaked me out. I loved, "Sweet Dreams" and Annie's hair. Also, I recall watching "Lucky Star," and knowing that Madonna was surely the coolest chick that the world would ever see.
 Thanks to Ashley on Tumblr for the tip!

  2. Fun interview! I never would have thought of Davey to be a fan of the 80's but he did grow up in it.

  3. I thought it was pretty obvious Davey loved the 80's, what with his love for Bowie and Depeche Mode.
