Remember the 80's?

[RedRocksU2]

*Note*
If you were born after this period, don't bother...it will make no sense to what I am talking about......


Anyways, remember;

Wearing "designer" jeans and getting your legs all blue from the ink?
Rollerskating?
Not having a cell phone?
...or Internet?
Girls wearing leg warmers?
BIG hair?
Boomboxes?

 

[wenda]

CHOOSE LIFE!

Let's not forget slap on bracelets and jelly shoes. Oh and the more flourescent the better!

 

[RedRocksU2]

I remember also looking at Boy George for the first time and saying.......that's a odd looking girl, pretty but odd

Rollerskating?

i lived in my skates.

i even had a little rollerskate necklace with spinning wheels.

 

[JCOSTER]

Rollerskating, every Friday night.

Headbands across the forehead.
Tremendous shoulder pads.
Capezios (shoes)

 

[RedRocksU2]

I was ALWAYS rollerskating on Saturdays from 4 PM to 7 PM......remember "Only couples" time? ...and going backwards?! hahahaha

 

[beegee]

i remember when polyurethane skate wheels were invented.

it was the most glorious event ever.

 

[beegee]

remember "Only couples" time?

i was more of a street rollerskater

 

[wenda]

Stone and acid wash jeans! Tapered of course, with slouchy socks. Oh and don't forget the pleats.

I remember when my junior year started, I had a big crisis because I couldn't find an off the shoulder Flashdance sweatshirt that I liked

 

[RedRocksU2]

I had the big crush on Olivia Newton-John

 

[JCOSTER]

Don't forget spandex leggings.

 

[RedRocksU2]

Couples only.... where were you when I needed someone!

I would have been too shy to ask you.

 

[JCOSTER]

I had the big crush on Olivia Newton-John

My husband was too!!! Just crazy about her like I am w/Bono.

 

[JCOSTER]

I would have been too shy to ask you.

oh stop...

I used to do some asking in those days...but your alot younger than me so I would have had to ask your mother first!

When I was in 12th grade I got sent home for wearing one!

 

[RedRocksU2]

I also remember seeing the WAR album (Record) at the Music Plus store and someone saying; "This band rocks!...it's like Duran Duran and Simple Minds together!"

 

[JCOSTER]

I remember getting my the first 3 U2 albums for my birthday.
I stayed in my room and never came out!!!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I had pinups of John Stamos, Patrick Swayze and Kirk Cameron in my room, ripped right out of the pages of 16.

I idolized Olivia Newton-John. I wore purple legwarmers with hearts on them, lol.

I loved Jem and the Holograms. My best friend and I played with our Jem dolls while we had the radio on in the background on her parent's porch. We listened to "Pour Some Sugar On Me" and George Michael songs a lot that summer.

Ah, the good old days.

 

[RedRocksU2]

seeing this on Time Magazine;

Btw, I am still looking for this issue on eBay

 

[JCOSTER]

Listening to U2 on the train going to school in the city, circa 87.

ah yes the good ol' days.

 

[BAW]

Carlos, I *might* have 2 copies of that issue. If I do, you can have one

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Oh, Live Aid - we had just gotten cable so I watched that on and off all day. I was six or seven and vaguely remember seeing U2. I remember being excited about Madonna more.

Flash forward 2 years, seeing the WOWY video, Larry, and I was done.

YES!



Wait a minute............who do I have to kill?

My mom made fun of Bono's boots all through their Live Aid set

I think I had a teenage hissy- fit and went into my room and slammed the door!

 

[RedRocksU2]

Live Aid? Hell yeah.

U2 and Queen...........best ever. I ran so fast home from school to see this.

I also remember staying up late to see the premiere of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video at midnight.

 

[BAW]

Wait a minute............who do I have to kill?

decisions, decisions....I'll get in touch with you that

I think I did something similar, only it was The Fly.

Dads just don't get Bono.
