A little late but what the hell. It’s still the ‘Edge of Seventeen’. Although the song’s creation was inspired by Jane Petty’s story about meeting Tom Petty, and then further defined by the loss of her uncle and John Lennon in the same week in December, 1980, Stevie Nick’s song is about change, exploration and maturation. It’s about what, too, matters, and how so much can pivot in an instant to become the only thing that matters. I think it’s an appropriate song for the ninth day of the new year, 2017.
I’d never seen this video before. I guess it was released in 1982, when the song came out. Things were different then, my friends. That was the hair of the era, though.

This gave me chills to watch. I graduated high school in 1982, the Edge of Seventeen. Stevie Nicks’ voice…oh my, smoky-sweet wine. (As for the hair…Any stranger than now? I think not!)

Hair and fashion…we always get some interesting stuff, and not just America, and not just the modern era. I guess, from my perspective, it’s a memory jolt that startles me. Thanks, Kecia. Cheers

Oh, I’m glad the hair is gone. I wasted many hours of my youth maintaining the style. On the other hand, we were rather fierce with our lion manes. Hehe. 🙂
These days I go more for a Helena Bonham Carter (Marla Singer) in Fight Club i.e. I bob my hair and don’t comb it for days!
