U2 War Tour Official T-shirt

U2's politically-charged, guitar rock album, War, is often voted for as one of the 1980's greatest, and it was supported by a two year tour across western Europe, North America (including Canada) and Japan. The well-received live performances, no doubt, helped the band gain many new followers, particularly in the U.S.

The tour started as a pre-war tour at Tiffany's in Glasgow on 1st Dec 1982, and ended at the Nakano Sunplaza in Japan on Nov 30 1983.

You can celebrate the tour with one of these official War Tour T-shirts, which I am about to show you.

This first T-shirt only comes in a grey colour, but looks very stylish and can be bought at Amazon UK. Sadly, it doesn't come in any large sizes for some reason. However, do not fret, as I have more to show you...

This black T-shirt comes in unisex sizing, and it displays their performance date at the Red Rocks Ampitheater in Denver, Colorado. The setting of the open-air ampi-theater is pretty spectacular, with the iconic circle of rocks sitting behind it and views of open countryside.

You may prefer to show your love for their War album, instead. Although this black T-shirt is not an official design, it does comes in a full range of sizes.

One of these tees would make a lovely gift for a U2 fan, or maybe your shopping for yourself? Whichever it is, I hope one of these designs is for you!

I also recommend viewing this Grey War Tour T-shirt at T-shirt Zone UK, which comes in a full range of sizes.

Blondie - Debbie Harry - 70s and 80s Fashion Photos

Embed from Getty Images Debbie Harry Fridge Magnet Back in my school days (yes, it was a long, long time ago!) many kids associated Blondie purely with lead singer Debbie Harry, although Blondie was actually a band, and a damn fine one, too. It's not hard to see why. After all, she oozed sex appeal and became a style icon, and many of her looks can still be seen on the high street today. Harry's designer friend Stephen Sprouse can claim responsibility for many of those looks. He created every style you can imagine using denim, black leather biker jackets, camoflauge, wayfarer and aviator shades, pink and girly styles, nautical stripes, animal print catsuits - the list goes on! I find it amusing that in 1998 Britney Spears caused controversy by wearing a school uniform for her video "Hit Me Baby One More Time". How quickly we forget that Debbie Harry had done this two decades earlier! After forming in 1974, Blondie became pioneers of the punk and new wave s

Kia-Ora 80s TV Advert - I'll be your dog!

Anyone who watched British TV during the 1980s (or went to the cinema) will remember the Kia-Ora crows advert featuring the slogan "I'll be your dog".  You may well remember the Kia-Ora drinks in plastic cartons which the usherette used to sell in the cinema. They also sold them in our local youth club, although sometimes it was Tip Top orange, which kind of tasted like the carton.  The advert itself was pretty bizarre but also a lot of fun. It featured a child wearing a straw sunhat and carrying his belongings over his shoulder, while walking in the hot sun carrying an empty glass. Suddenly, a dog appears from nowhere and tips Kia-Ora orange into his glass. The sun wrings itself out into the glass to top it up.  A crow is following the child and shouts "Kia-Ora!". The child replies "It's too orangey for crows, It's just for me and my dog." The crow replies "I'll be your dog!", and then starts barking. As they continue to walk, an

Create an 80s or 90s Acid House - Raver Look

With its squelching bass sounds (often created using a Roland TB-303 bass synth) and minimalist production, the sound of acid house first became popular in the latter half of the 80s, starting in 1987. The media were more focused on the illegal raves and psychedelic drugs, but in reality, a good many young folk enjoyed dancing to the new sound in nightclubs (including myself) without going anywhere near any drugs or illegal raves. What is synonymous with the acid house scene is the smiley face logo, and the T-shirt featuring the logo, along with tie dye and psychedelic clothing, and bucket hats which became popular with ravers. Baggy over the knee shorts were popular with men. Bandanas and dungarees/dungaree shorts were also worn by both sexes. Some ravers also had  yellow whistles . In the early 90s,  white overalls , hooded anoracks and  yellow dust masks with an "E" , smiley face or radiation symbol also became part of the rave scene. Initially, the dust masks we
