Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Dazed and Confused!
Alright, alright, alright…
This awesome “coming-of-age” film had its theatrical release on September 24, 1993.

Candidly, the grunge and alternative music scene of the early-to-mid ‘90s had a nostalgic, yet introspective feel that was often infused with a garage-band vibe, which all together, harkened back to the record store shelves of my first decade; shelves that often held an awesome, yet eclectic mix of Singer-songwriters, guitar-driven, hard-charging early-Metal and Rock, Funk, Disco, and eventually, Punk. There was definitely a connection…
I also can’t help but think about one of my all-time favorite movies from these two interconnected decades; 1993’s “Dazed and Confused”. [“Alright, alright, alright. How you doing? You heard about the party being busted right? Not to worry, there’s a new fiesta in the making as we speak. Who put the keg all the way out here in the woods? Did ya ever look at a dollar bill, man? There’s some spooky s@#% goin’ on there. And it’s green too... Hey, you guys know what that song is about? It’s about the aliens. We’re the aliens, man, we’re the savages. We’re the savages, man... I’d like to quit thinking of the present, like right now, as some minor, insignificant preamble to somethin’ else... Man, it’s the same B.S. they tried to pull in my day. If it ain’t that piece of paper, there’s some other choice they’re gonna try and make for you. Let me tell you this: The older you do get, the more rules they’re gonna try to get you to follow. You just gotta keep livin’, man, L-I-V-I-N.”] The more things change, the more they stay the same…
