1960s
I remember the only 2 times during the 60s I saw my mother cry, besides, at my sisters' weddings.

An ad from a 1952 esquire. This was how to dress for a prom. Life was so much simpler then.

Stan Ridgway, Camouflage (1986)
Following the break-up of Wall of Voodoo, Stan Ridgway embarked on a solo career. His debut album, The Big Heat, named after a 1953 film noir, showcased his flair for dramatic lyrics and cinematic themes. One song, "Camouflage" reached the top 5 in Europe and the U.K. and tells a ghost story set in the Vietnam War.

Talking Heads, Love for Sale (1986)
While "Wild, Wild Life" was the official single released from the Talking Heads seventh album, True Stories, it was not the only song from the album to have a video. In as scene from the David Byrne film of the same name, a character sits down to watch TV... and what she saw was "Love for Sale," a paean to the commercial nature of our society.

Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Love Missile F1-11 (1986)
Ex-Generation X bassist Tony James pulled together a band for his harder edge new wave. Calling themselves Sigue Sigue Sputnik, they scored a hit in 1986 with "Love Missile F1-11", taken from their debut album Flaunt It, which derived from a repetitive synth bassline (ala Devo) overlaid with clips from violent films. While the song became a hit on the dance floors of Europe and Asia, it was not until it was included in the film Ferris Beuller's Day Off that it became popular in the U.S. The controversy surrounding the video for the song, which portrays a futuristic urban war with band members openly gunning people down on city streets, only made for greater temptation and, thus, popularity (despite being heavily censored in some countries).

I used to wear these pants, now all I own are work pants and some long forgotten standard fit jeans.
