The 80s
May 25th, 2008The 80s
Back To The Future
An interesting question was posed to me last week - if you could go back to any decade, which one would it be?
This might cause some people to ponder the choices a bit before answering. Not me though. I think the person asking the question was caught off-guard when I answered in .1 milliseconds. The answer was simple…
The Eighties.
I was in high school in the 80s. And while college was good, there just has never been any time in my life - so far - to compare with the great times back in high school.
Words can’t even begin to describe how wonderful it would be to once again be crusing around in my 1980 Mustang, filled with that 95 cent per gallon gasonline, listening to an awesome “mix tape”, personally mastered by myself after many hours of planning the compilation.
OK… I’ll admit that maybe I could do without the hairstyle again. We can leave that part of the Eighties in it’s grave. But everything else, from Alf and Top Gun, to Reagan and rainbows - bring it on.
If you are too young to have enjoyed the 80s as a teenager, my sympathies go out to you. There will probably never be another decade like that one.
