I remember college and lots of shopping!
When I zoom back to "the 80's", I think of WHAM --Wake me Up Before You GoGo...those colors influenced a lot of the clothing!
That and my sister thought she was Boy George! @8 years old!
Of course, I thought I was Michael Jackson. I'm still a Thriller, I'm Bad, and I'm Dangerous!
99 Red Balloons
The Brat Pack
And we had to go to a friends house to see MTV because it came with the cable package like HBO, and grandma didn't like HBO...so there went MTV too.
We still don't have call waiting.
18 was legal for beer until I turned 19 then it went up to 21.

MTV when it used to be MTV. There was a lot of good and varied popular music, Ronald Reagan was in the White House. The economy was rebounding. It was a wonderful time.

Oh yeah, Peter Cetera(Chicago) from the movie the Karate Kid. Boy do I ever remember that. Like I have said before this is when music actually meant something.

I remember being born in 1987, other than that, nothing much! Oh but I do love 80's classic rock music. I prefer that over anything!

I remember almost everything. Except for the last few years of the 80s, I was usually high at the time.
