The Kinks - "State of Confusion" (1983)


The 80's weren't necessarily a kind decade to rock stars who came of age in the 60's.

(McCartney & Wonder's "Ebony & Ivory", Bowie's "Blue Jean", Lou Reed & Sam Moore's "Soul Man" cover, Elton John's "I'm Still Standing", Rod Stewart's "Some Guys Have All The Luck", The Stones' Dirty Work LP, pretty much anything released by Clapton, to name just a few.)

The Kinks were definitely an exception (for the most part).

Here's a 1983 video for "State of Confusion" featuring a very-confused looking Ray Davies in a muscle shirt.  Will he make the gig on time?  Hmm.
