Every time I see this topic, I flinch. Or I shudder. Take your pick. As an adult struggling in the 80s, with Ron & Nancy in the White House & their political ideas only really being good for very wealthy people & meanwhile something like a modern day plague was killing more & more friends who were also young adults, ... it would require another term, certainly not nostalgia or the good ole days. But, it does explain why escapism in soaps became a much sought after criteria.

    One of the most iconic moments in sports in the 1980s. 40 years later it's still breathtaking, but back then it was revolutionary.

     

    Gosh, I remember this like it was yesterday. Thanks for the reminder.

    Looking back on the 1980s as an adult.

    1984 the peak.

    1986 s--- got real w/ the AIDS crisis, Space Shuttle Challenger, Chernobyl.

    1989 the world was on the verge of change w/ Reagan leaving office, Tiananmen Square, Berlin Wall.

    I had a Kate Jackson poster. Maybe I can find it. 

    I had the Charlie's Angels one too and the Farah Fawcett one.
