What a nice surprise to find this video! Thanks for posting it (especially the crisp, high quality version). It's one of my favorites from Trust.

To Dokukyo18:

THANK YOU for adding this song/video...so many happy and pleasant memories going back to late 1980/early 1981. I appreciate it so VERY much!!! If only music could be this good and meaningful today...(SIGH!!) MTV was so good when they had new artist and their tunes, now it is just such garbage.

I couldn't have said it better myself! There was some fluff and one-hit acts in the 80's, but there sure was a hell of a lot more valid artists with vision out then. You certainly are hard pressed to find that anywhere in this day and age. Everything is carbon copied and regurgitated, no originality. The 80's offered many artists a chance that they never would have in this era. If Costello hadn't started when he did... he'd have no shot as an artist now. Sad days we live in!
