Half of the lives they tell about me aren't true.
Comments
Born in 84 (yeah I know, young whippersnapper), but I was never into the pop culture, heck I still ain't. I recognized a couple of those, but I grew up in a fairly small town with *gasp* no television. We were forced to *shudder* play outside and use our imaginations. [:D] The horror, the horror!!.
Born in the same year. I live in a College town (Purdue) so the whole town is pretty "Pop influenced"
I don't know how many of them relate to me.
My first concert was New Kids On The Block[:I]
on the playground's where I spent most of my days [:D]
yeah, I'm afriad that a few of those apply to me.
add to that:
you watched MacGyver and they weren't reruns, and
A-Team and Airwolf reruns were popular
Born in '76, so I remember just about all of that. It's scary to read the name of a product that probably hasn't been on the market for 20 years, and instantly remember the jingle from its TV commercial. Why can't I remember anything important?
Stand by me - There were some big names in that movie. Do you remember how chunky Jerry Oconnel(sp) was?
Robo Cop
Big Ben, Hunter, Head Of the Class, Simon & Simon, Night Court, The Wonder Years, or My Two Dads?
Shot through the heart, and it to late .....
#@$^%^*%^, that song is stuck in my head![:D]
I remember all of these, unfortunetly, I also would remember the decade before and most the the one before that....[:0]
Ditto, man, we're OLD.......[;)]
remember most of it.. [:)]
I wish the 80's would come backNo Arab problemNo mexican problemwe remebered we hated commies and the greatest president ever[:D]
I remember that from my daughter watching it. (OK, Jem was hot).
You may remember "Shot thru the Heart" how about "Runaway"?
Techno Rock? Flock of Seagulls? Duran Duran?
Skating Rinks?
Coke in a glass bottle-everywhere?
Narrow leather ties in pastel colors?
Guess jeans? Shed House (painter pants?) Jordache? Sergio Valente?
Stan Smith Addidas shoes?
Polo shirts?
Yeah, me too. I wore boots and jeans, usually with flannel. Concert t's and all of the above.
