Retro Wearing aWig and a Smirk

Retro  Wearing aWig and a Smirk. Some years bring trends. Other years bring guitar riffs the kind that kick down the door, knock the dust off your speakers, and remind you that rock music never really died; it just went outside for air and forgot to come back on time. This year, it returned wearing leather, nostalgia, and a grin. And somewhere in New Jersey, a band called Who On Earth decided that the best way to celebrate the comeback wasn’t with a solemn speech or a moody black-and-white video. No these guys chose chaos. The fun kind. The kind with wigs, exaggerated hip-swag, and a cover song that sounds like it’s laughing with rock history instead of bowing to it. Their weapon of choice   “Jane,” the iconic 1979 Jefferson Starship hit reborn on Halloween, because if you’re going to resurrect something, you may as well do it when the calendar is already dressed for the occasion.

Around the world people keep drawers, boxes and whole rooms full of these objects, long after technology and fashion have moved on. Ask why and the answer is almost never about practicality. It is about taste and sound and touch and the way a simple object once carried an entire season of life inside it. Old audio devices are among the strongest magnets for memory. Cassette players, Walkman style headphones, boom boxes and home stereos still sit in closets even in homes that stream every song.

They remember recording songs from the radio, praying the presenter would stop talking before the ...
