The History Of Jop Part 11 aka Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps

1989, the number, another poll - something to do while you count the minutes until POPTIMISM TONIGHT AT THE UNION TAVERN (ahem).

Only EIGHT picks this time because Tone Loc's "Wild Thing" was a duplicate.

i was expressing myself immensely poorly of course, but when i said "nexus" i was thinking of almost the opposite of an explosion / diversification of a consolidation and convergence.

Um, still not sure what you're saying. "Nexus" means a bunch of things interconnecting, so in 1966 you get Nancy Sinatra and Motown and Rolling Stones all sharing elements in a way that they wouldn't have earlier and didn't later, but even that's really tenuous as a nexus (what about Gary Puckett and Engelbert Humperdink [er, maybe they were 1967?] and Roger Miller and a whole lot of other stuff hitting that's nowhere near the nexus?).

So, what was 88-89's nexus? I'm not saying there were no interconnections, but what songs are on your mind and how do they interconnect?

see back above in original thread. i've concluded it is prob just a personal psychological perspective
