Retro

Dear Bono,

Have you ever noticed how things are cyclical?  Fashion and music particularly stand out to me.  What was "in" to wear when I was a kid is now all the rage again.  Though now that I think about it, the term all the rage is probably not all the rage.  The saying goes, though, that if someone wore the fashion once before, s/he should not wear the fashion again.  I sort of agree.  Though I have had some fun with fluorescents again.
Music also is the same way.  The music trend is to go back to one's roots.  To explore the older sounds and then try a new twist.  Actually, this trend lasts in other areas.  I think of children's toys-the toys I once played with as a child are now back, presumably since consumers will pay money for their children to play with things they remember from their own childhood.  It makes sense.  Sentiment sells.

I just hope we avoid grunge again.  Thanks for not ever doing that the first time.


Sincerely,

JP
