Checking my music history, I saw that Everybody's Happy Nowadays was released in the UK on March 2, 1979 (28 years ago gosh).
I also found out that Pop Matters mentioned the AARP in a review of the band comeback effort way back in 2003, coincidence or inspiration for a marketing exec, god only knows!

After writing about Buzzcocks and the AARP getting together, I wonder if...
