			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been giving a lot of thought lately to the meaning of the song &#8220;Forever Young&#8221; originally recorded by the German pop group Alphaville.  So I decided today that I would actually spend sometime reading what other people had to say about the song and take a look at the original video to see if there was some wisdom there.    </p>
<p>I found two versions of the video and I watched both and I took away one thing.  Why the hell did that hair cut seem like a good idea?  Yes, I know I am 25 years too late to be making any criticism, but this wasn&#8217;t exactly on my radar in 1984.  (Trivia:  Nor was it on anybody else&#8217;s  radar.  Despite the song being a current standard, it never made it on to the US top 40).  Anyway, I am hoping to find some direction to what the song meant to the band, but I can&#8217;t get past Marian Gold&#8217;s big head.  One of the reason&#8217;s I found him (it) disturbing, is that  people are posting that he was &#8220;hot&#8221;.  What the hell people?  Were you stoned through the 80&#8217;s?  He&#8217;s got Mozart&#8217;s wig on and he looks like a cross between Frankenstein and a constipated David Hasslehoff.  </p>
<p>I have included a pic and the second video to illustrate my point.  </p>
