About News of the 80s
News of the 80s is a blog site dedicated to the 1980s. Here you will find news about people and things that were popular in the 80s. We will also post our own "Memories of the 80s". Once we get fully settled into the site we are going to try posting memories every day of the week. They will include things like Music Video Mondays, Toonerific Tuesdays, Must See TV Thursdays, and Superfad Saturdays. So stop back often, or subscribe using the link above for all the News of the 80s.
A little about the author:
Hi, my name is Gene and I am a Child of the 80s. I was 8 when the 80s began and 18 when they ended. I think that is part of the reason I feel so strongly about the 80s being the best decade ever. It is my experience that the main people that dislike the 80s are those that were too old to enjoy them. (Add in the fact that those too old to enjoy them were around to enjoy the 60s and find it hard to move on from there.)
So if you are anything like me...example: I have listened to both Prince and Rick Springfield in the past week!... Then you will LOVE News of the 80s! If you wore a Members Only jacket at some point, a pair of Zebra print pants, or a pair of Acid Washed jeans...You will probably LOVE News of the 80s. However, if you ever wore the Zebra Print pants, with a fanny pack, a black mesh half shirt, and a pair of black Reeboks then you may be beyond help. Now off to destroy a photograph!-
