Video didn't kill the radio star, but it sure freaked out my 10-year-old

So I introduced my eldest to Adam and the Ants. I showed her the video for "Stand and Deliver" - my all-time fave Ants tune. Emily found it rather incomprehensible why all the guys in the video were wearing lip gloss. (Try explaining that little bit of 80's culture to your children sometime - t'ain't easy, trust me).

Along the way, she also saw Duran Duran's "Planet Earth" ("Daddy, that guy playing the keyboard looks like a girl!" - just what we all said back in the old days), Elvis Costello's "(What's So Funny 'bout) Peace, Love and Understanding" ("His glasses are really weird!" - again, I recall making a similar comment around 1982 or so) and U2's "Gloria" ("Look, Daddy! The Edge has hair!" - she's been versed in current U2-ology and the fact that Dave "The Edge" Evans always wears a beanie cap these days because he's losing his hair - not a problem in 1981 where he, on the far right on the album cover, has that shaggy mop).

I'd like to say all this either qualifies me for the coolest dad award or the most irresponsible parent award - I'm not really sure which. Perhaps you can vote.
