I put Elvis Costello's 'Trust' on in Moni tonight.
Perhaps I needed a dose of 1980.
The songs certainly took me back there.
Another World, Another Planet.
Sixteen years old and waiting impatiently for life to happen.
Twenty six years later life certainly has happened and some of it I even remember.
In Peru in 1980, eleven year old Esther was enduring the death throes of the last military government.
Five years later Alan Garcia Perez became president.
Sunday should bring some interesting opinion polls as to whether he likely to be coming back.
Maybe that's where 'Trust' comes in.
