1983 Is Coming...

It will soon be time to dust off those golden oldies from 1983, via Spotify - and what a year it was, 30 years ago.  Just 20 classics from then to consider, each of which remains with me as one of my favourites still, and raises the question, wasn't the singles chart better then?  I mean, how to compete with Gaye, Jackson, Bowie, etc...:

  1. Safety Dance - Men Without Hats
  2. I'm Still Standing - Elton John
  3. Hungry Like The Wolf - Duran Duran
  4. Our House - Madness
  5. Goody Two Shoes - Adam & The Ants
  6. Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These) - Eurythmics
  7. Down Under - Men At Work
  8. Rock The Casbah - The Clash
  9. She Blinded Me With Science - Thomas Dolby
  10. Little Red Corvette - Prince
  11. Billie Jean - Michael Jackson
  12. Every Breath You Take - The Police
  13. Electric Avenue - Eddy Grant
  14. Come On Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners
  15. Let's Dance - David Bowie
  16. Mickey - Toni Basil
  17. Steppin Out - Joe Jackson
  18. Maneater - Hall & Oates
  19. Do You Really Want To Hurt Me? - Culture Club
  20. Sexual Healing - Marvin Gaye

IQ AND THE POETS - ARE YOU SMART?

When you open your mouth to speak, are you smart?  A funny question from a great song, but also, a good one, when it comes to poets, and poetry. We tend to have a very ambiguous view of intelligence in poetry, one that I'd say is dysfunctional.  Basically, it goes like this: once you are safely dead, it no longer matters how smart you were.  For instance, Auden was smarter than Yeats , but most would still say Yeats is the finer poet; Eliot is clearly highly intelligent, but how much of Larkin 's work required a high IQ?  Meanwhile, poets while alive tend to be celebrated if they are deemed intelligent: Anne Carson, Geoffrey Hill , and Jorie Graham , are all, clearly, very intelligent people, aside from their work as poets.  But who reads Marianne Moore now, or Robert Lowell , smart poets?

My heart sank as I listened, for what became clear to me, in a flash, is that nothing has changed since Victorian England (for some in the literary establishment).

"I have crossed oceans of time to find you..."

In terms of great films about, and of, love, we have Vertigo, In The Mood for Love , and Casablanca , Doctor Zhivago , An Officer and a Gentleman , at the apex; as well as odder, more troubling versions, such as Sophie's Choice and  Silence of the Lambs .  I think my favourite remains Bram Stoker's Dracula , with the great immortal line "I have crossed oceans of time to find you...".
