80s Dan

Cassette

There's no way he'll ever stumble upon this entry, so I'm going to write about 80s Dan.  80s Dan plays on my Thursday night softball team.  I played with him last night in another thrilling come from behind victory.  80s Dan is worth writing about, because he's the real deal.  He's vintage 80s and completely disinterested in leaving the decade he loves.

You hear 80s Dan coming before you see him arrive.  The windows of his black late-80s Monte Carlo are always rolled down with 80s metal blaring through the speakers.  This 80s metal is played in a cassette deck, most likely on the same cassettes he bought in the mid-80s.  80s Dan sports long, 80s style hair and is often seen wearing an 80s metal tee shirt and talking about the upcoming Rush/Motley Crue/Ozzy Osbourne concert coming to town.  In everything he does, 80s Dan is stuck in the 80s, and that's where he's most comfortable.

I like 80s Dan.  All because the calendar changed 15 years ago doesn't mean we all have to follow suit.
