Jeremy Kennedy wasn’t always nostalgic. After surviving the Carter years, he gravitated to the art of modernism heard in the records spun over the sound system in the local skating rink a few miles from home. M’s “Pop Muzik” and “Cars” by Gary Numan put Jeremy on a path that complimented the first generation of music videos and provided a futuristic soundtrack in every mall arcade. “The radio singles from the Seventies were some of the best ever recorded. Unfortunately, there was very little innovation,” he confesses. “But when the Eighties arrived, artists were encouraged to be experimental. Radio stations, pop culture and MTV demanded it.” Not only is Jeremy Kennedy a new-wave aficionado, his passion and expertise has made him a vital candidate in the field of retro publicity. Jeremy, a certified public relations project manager has served artists like Wang Chung, ABC, and Depeche Mode veteran Alan Wilder. By request, he began contributing intriguing interviews to Atlanta’s 99x.com by artists like Information Society, the Thompson Twins and MTV-personality Julie “Just Say Julie” Brown while exploring the whereabouts of lesser-remembered bands such as Waterfront and B-Movie. In 2011, Jeremy proudly joined the Examiner, spreading his retro cheer to audiences across the nation.
