And of course, my fave yr...1980...the yr I was born! :dgrin
 
I was 4 in 1980, but I loved this hand held football game my aunt gave me for my birthday that was very popular that year. That was Game Boy before The Game Boy!!LOL. Everybody was asking that same old dumb question; Who shot JR? As I got older and saw the reruns I saw that it was one of JR's old girlfriends that he dogged.

Hot hits of 1980:

Queen-Another One Bites The Dust(it's known as the funkiest white boy songs of all time!!LOL)
Pink Floyd-The Wall
Bily Joel-Still Rock and Roll to Me
SOS Band- Do It To Me Right
Christopher Cross- Ride Like The Wind

Yep meggy, when you were born, that's what PLJ was blasting then!!LOL

And going to our Irish Roots.

1987 was the focus of U2's huge break through album: The Joshura Tree.

The is in my opinion, one of the greatest albums of all time. It was so different from all the hair bands at the time in 87!!😉

In 7th grade, I got sent home because I used to post up my note books with garbage pail kids stickers!! They were so much gross fun!! Remember the HeMan action figure monster Slime?!!!LOL
 
I really Loved Rick Ashleys songs; mainly, Never Gonna Give You Up.

I thought he was a smooth talking black guy when I first heard the song. But, in late 1988 when we got cable, I got MTV, saw the video and said; 😱 he's white!!!!!!!!LOL
