Tuesday Reminiscing

I know, I'm slacking again. Sorry.

I snagged this survey from my bff Chesneygirl, who incidentally I will be par-tay-ing with this weekend along with Nelly and Naive, my other bff's. I know, you're all jealous!


1. Age on January 1st, 1980. – Young - but old enough to remember LOTS of stuff.

2. Favorite song of the 80’s. – How can you pick just one? The 80’s RULED for music!

3. Favorite rock band of the 80’s. – Def Leppard. And KISS of course but since they started in the 70’s I’ll say Def Leppard. I was a total Leppie.

4. Favorite dance/R&B band of the 80’s. – Midnight Star :)

5. Favorite TV show of the 80’s. – I LOVED Cosby – Bill Cosby ALWAYS cracked me up. And later that decade I was a huge fan of Beauty and the Beast. Vincent was SO cool.

6. Favorite male and female TV actors of the 80’s. – Tom Selleck – I Loved Magnum P.I. As for a female … I don’t know. :/

7. Favorite comedy movie of the 80’s. -- Ferris Bueller's Day Off and This is Spinal Tap.

8. Favorite action/drama film of the 80’s. – Raiders of the Lost Ark – definitely!

9. Favorite personal event, social gathering or political event during the 1980’s.—I’m not sure about FAVORITES. But the things I remember most vividly are John Lennon getting shot, the space shuttle’s first mission, and of course the Challenger’s final mission. Getting a booklet and letter from Ronald Reagan when I wrote him a letter. The Berlin Wall coming down. And all the activism in music: Band Aid (Do They Know it’s Christmas), Hands Across America, Hear’n’Aid, Farm Aid, USA for Africa, etc.


Sooo ... what do YOU remember about the 80's?

I used to roller skate to Def Leppard! LOL!

OMG! I totally forgot about the Raiders of the Lost Ark! How could I forget?! I loved that movie too! I canNOT WAIT until the new one comes out this May!

But I still think ET was my favorite... Chesneyhusband bought me the 20th Anniversary DVD a few years back! :) I can't wait until Chesneybaby is old enough to watch it with me!

Not much besides running kids around to sporting events, helping with homework, and telling them "because I said so, and I'm the MOM".

It's sad when you get old and can't remember anything more than that, eh?

Hugs..........and I won't be seeing any of you. You all decided to go a different route this time and deprive me of a visit. Shitheads!!!!

;) Hugs and love ya anyway!

Nelly said...

LOL Martie! "Shitheads!" Ha ha ha ha!

I loved the 80's!! I am an 80's child for sure! I loved the music. My hubby and I, just the other night, pulled up 80's music video's on youtube. Memory lane for sure. I can remember just how impressed I was with Thriller when it came out.

I'm more of a 70's girl. What I remember the most about the 80's was the big hair and shoulder pads...oh, and heavy make-up. What fashion faux paus!

Hope all is well in your world..
