1982

My God! That was 25 years ago!

txrad has a movie on, and I asked him what it was. He hit the info button and I saw the year and I just had this revelation.

Time flies when you're having fun.

Question of the Day: What was going on in your life in 1982?

I was 4 years out of high school... hard enough to believe that. And my dad was still alive, for about 3 more months.

Bill Clinton was about to defeat Frank White to win back the governor's mansion in Little Rock.

And even then I think I knew Hillary wanted to be president.

And I was listening to the Talking Heads, the Ramones, Gang of Four, Buzzcocks, Siouxsie and the Banshees.

I guess it was a pretty good year. Probably the last of the really good 80s years in America.
