..what do you remember about the 80s?

[Re-Animator]

I remember spending 2 hours on my hair then getting 20.00 dollars so I could buy forty 25 cent bourbon and cokes during ladies night, while dancing to the Cure just so I could get a some girls beeper number in the parking lot.

what do you remember about the 80s?

I used to come home from preschool, go with my dad to the local arcade, then come home and eat grilled cheese sandwhiches (the only delicacy my father made) and watch MTV. I was 3 and put it on MTV with no influence whatsoever. I loved it and it shaped me into the person I am today. That was 1986. The one video that totally tripped my 3 year old mind out was this:

The genesis song "land of confusion" was pretty tight but the video was incredibly creepy and probably scarred me for life, I can't believe my parents let me watch this . I also remember Cold War-related tensions and bright coloured poofy clothing.

Dying my hair all different colors, and trying to get it to look like Mike Score from Flock of Seagulls Discos, losing my virginity, Herschel Walker's greatness, camping out at Wimbledon, getting stoned and drunk for the first time.

All the chicks at my school had perms and those huge poof things in the front of their hair. It looked like they had contests to see who could make their hair the highest.
