Life on the sofa

Since my surgery last friday I've not been moving about much. Most of my time has been spent in bed, actually. Too groggy from the medication to be able to read much, I've been watching television. Lots of television. VH1 Classic's Classic Albums series has been a particular favorite. Last night I caught the one on U2's The Joshua Tree. Wow, talk about pretentious assholes. They kept going on and on about how "nothing sounded like that in the mid-'80s", and how innovative they all were. I suppose that might all be true if your idea of cutting edge '80s music was Phil Collins.
