The worst song of the '80s?

The worst song of the '80s? According to a pool from Rolling Stone the worst song of the '80s comes from the band Starship. We Built This City is the single worst single ever constructed,

Blender's ranking of reeking tunes.
Starship's 1985 anthem, the runaway No. 1 stinker, seems to inspire the most virulent feelings of outrage, editor Craig Marks says. It purports to be anti-commercial but reeks of '80s corporate-rock commercialism.

It's a real reflection of what practically killed rock music in the '80s.
Also sealing the song's fate were Starship's steep fall from grace as the admired Jefferson Airplane and the sheer dumbness of the lyrics.

Bridesmaids Sequel

Bridesmaids Sequel. Due to an incompatible temperament and worldview, I think it’s fair to say that Judith Butler would make a terrible Hollywood executive. But the radical feminist thinker does have one thing in common with slick-talking producers and studio suits: both think of women with a sense of unease.

Not any individual woman, mind you; no single actress or ticket buyer. Nor any specific value that can be termed ‘feminine,’ which can be packaged in images and marketed as well as anything else. No, the apprehension is about women as a category – an amorphous group constituting more than half the population, but varying widely in terms of culture, class, age, geography, and desires. What do women want? It’s hard to answer when women are more easily defined not by what they are but by what they are not.
