What a great picture!!
I want in this exclusive club! 52 here and a Grandmother! Been a fan since the nifty 80's (no mullets here).
Hi and welcome. I am also a grand mom! Of a precious five year old girl.
I want to thank everyone for posting their stories. It is so wonderful to read them. I admit. I was a bit hesitant. When, I first came to Interference. Thinking, I would be the "oldest one" here. But, I see. I am in great company. We lived in the eighties, remember MTV, well at least when it really was a music channel.
I also remember, holding my infant son and watching Live Aid. The feelings of hope that I had. The promise of helping those who were starving in a foreign land and making the planet, a better place for our children. I also prayed, U2 would stick around for many more years to come and they have.
I listened to their songs and reflect. My, how things have changed. Some for the better and perhaps, a few not so much. The wide eyed innocence of an entire generation has produce a mature group who is not only taken on the world by a storm. With the invention of the internet, but also a global awareness of how interconnected as people, we are. The simple fact we have to "carry each other."
We will be remembered in history for this. Technology, global communication, clean energy and the war on extreme poverty. Which, I believe, we will win! Our future generations will thank us.
Same here, Vietnam, Nixion, was horrible. We can't say, it still doesn't affect us. It does. And you are absolutely right. Music was the one bright spot.
Wow, you saw the Doors and Hedrix? That is fantastic! My first rock concert was Zeppelin, in Baltimore Maryland, 1972. I was fifteen years old.
41 here, but I look 47.
I can vouch for that.. ur a wrinkly lookin old FART.
I love you Amy.

no . . . I had big hair but not quite that big
I was more of a fan of this look
. . . far out, what a hoot . . . when you type 80's hair into the google search engine that's the first piccie that funny 80's family pic pops up
I didn't think so. Yes, I did that madonna wanna-be thing too! Hairspray was my best friend thru those years It was fun, but happy to get past that stage.
I had that "bi-level" haircut. Remember that? It looked like a mullet. Oh the 80's had the worst of it.
I'm 45. I fell hard when I saw New Year's Day on MTV... First live show was Cleveland Music Hall in December 1984 on the UF tour.
The show? Edinburgh August 1st 1987 oh man, that gig was unbelievable...
Yip, that's the concert I mentioned....I had to give my ticket away (to a mate) on the morning of the gig....a beautiful sunny Sunday!
