Jaguars’ lifestyles full of fads Bzzzzzzz! It was 6:30 a.m., time for all Jaguars to get out of bed and hit the showers. A hand emerged from under six blankets to turn on the radio. “KQ ... Minnesota’s best album rock,” came across the waves, drowning out the groaning beneath the covers. Next Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers belted out, ‘‘Don’t have to live like a refugee ..a hit tune from their album. A jingle followed which went something like, ‘‘Don’t worry mom, I’m eating right at Arby’s,” a popular fast food place on Lyndale Avenue. Pink Floyd’s tune, ‘‘The Wall” could be barely heard above the buzzing of a hand held hairdryer. Next came choosing the appropriate attire for the school day. After a shave, the average guy pulled a Shetland sweater over a plaid shirt, making sure it stayed tucked into his Levi’s jeans. A pair of Frye boots on the feet made the whole look. Meanwhile, another student took her last breath before jerking on a pair of Gloria Vanderbilt jeans. Next came a pair of toe crippling Candies’ shoes, topped off with a wooly sweater or a silk shirt with a petite collar. After booking it through six hours of school, students cruised home. A can of Rondo soda (the thirst crusher) waited in the refrigerator for those who were thirsty. The more sophisticated may have opened a bottle of Perrier water. After tossing their multicolored jackets and backpacks into the closet, students watched a Home Box Office movie on their newly-installed cable TV. Glancing at their digital watches, they realized it was time to get to bed. 28 • Fads
