We Always Thought Wham! Was an 80’s Band
What is up with today’s young people putting all their personal information on MySpace and YouTube? asks a letter in the News that includes its writer’s full name and city. “We need to get back to what my generation did in our spare time — walk, talk, play with our friends outside in person and do our homework and chores as soon as we arrived home from school. We never had time to allow for a total takeover of our household by an Xbox, GameCube, PlayStation, YouTube nor MySpace.com because we were too ‘wham’ busy.” Yeah, what the “spell” do these kids think they’re doing?
Aparently these kids today are just “bucking” around and watching their futures go down the “twitter”.

That’s “George Michael and The Other Guy from Wham.”

To see a boy jumping rope in public would have been, to my elementary school eyes, rather startling, like a dog playing a violin.
