A couple of quick hits on Tuesday, a story about a punk rock coming out of the Twin Cities in the 80s and more about the fashion of the Top-Sider.  The truth about the Matterhorn and a talented creative director gives us a few tips on video editing. 

Husker Du was a punk rock band from the Minneapolis music scene in the 80s.  Frontman and guitarist Bob Mould went on to a couple other bands and a solo career, and we could do a whole newsletter on the punk rock music scene coming out of Minneapolis in the 80s.  Today let's talk about this picture:

Left to right, drummer Greg Norton, bassist Grant Hart, and guitarist Bob Mould, now 80s fashion, all three boys are wearing jeans, 3 different colors, and Hart went with the ripped-up jeans, and back in those days, kids, we actually ripped them ourselves.  Hart was also doing something we called the tuck, which again was a DIY version of tapering the legs of your jeans.  Everyone is smoking, also very 80s, Mould is wearing what we think is a Swatch Watch, and the shoes are the cherry on this 80s reunion.  Norton is in boots, possibly Doc Martens – Hart is wearing Converse Chuck Taylors with marker on the toe, and Mould is wearing Top-Siders or boat shoes.  A stylist couldn’t have made this picture better. 

We pulled the pic from the Rolling Stone article we referenced before.  Rob Sheffield's best songs of 1983.

The BBC has a story about the Toblerone chocolate bar removing the image of the Matterhorn mountain from the iconic candy bar.

According to the article, Switzerland has changed some of its rules, and only if 80% or more of food is made in Switzerland are you allowed to use Swiss symbols like the Matterhorn.  By the way, we thought the Matterhorn was a ride at Disneyland?

Makes no sense.
