Born in 78. Experienced Thriller and Purple Rain, New Edition debut and Madonna's debut in real time. Saw Gremlins, Indiana Jones and Ghostbusters in the movie theaters. Marvin Gayes death, The Space Shuttle Challenger. Van Halen, Guns & Roses. Was right there when Run DMC and LL took off. I saw the transition from Atari to
Nintendo and Sega and Turbo Grafx 16. Vanessa Williams in Penthouse magazine hidden in my dads closet. Manhattan cable that had free porn, Midnight Blue with Al Goldstein on Monday nights at 12 am. Robin Bird Wednesday night at 12 am. Garbage Pail Kids. Cosby Show and Married With Children. Figuring out the VCR. A microwave was futuristic shyt. Cassette tapes > vinyl (cds is for rich people). Every Black household had Ebony, Jet and maybe a TV Guide on the coffee table. And Ronald Regan was the president of the decade.
80's was the shyt and you seriously missed out if you didn't experience it.
