Share what you know about the year you were born.

The year 1980, Ronald Reagan as president, the Iraq war , John Lennon was assassinated. Bob Marley passed away in May of 1980

The 80’s was the decade of big hair & neon clothes . Turtlenecks, shoulder pads and corset belts were in style.

With roller skating to some 80’s tunes such as celebration by Kool & the Gang; Another one bites the dust by Queen and you shook me all night by AC/DC.

Some of many movies that came out such as Airplane, the Return of the King, The Elephant Man.

    Michael Jackson was the Jump back in the day. 40 years ago and Thriller was everything. Pac Man, Rubkix Cube, Arcades, roller skating, sci fi movies, still love. ET. video tapes, 3D movies and I would wear glasses end side. good horror movies, tv shows, dramas, sports, fashion, Music, a lot to digest. it was the Last Era of the Larger than Life Music Artist, Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, whitney Houston, Lionel Richie, George Michael, Janet Jackson and then Hip Hop took off. Big time Movies, and everything was Big from the Hair to the Presentation. what a time to be around. this new thing called Microsoft, a Phone Extension and caller ID and a Machine Answering Phone. three way

        Back then? As a kid all sorts of things. From games to music. We were outside a lot. What I enjoyed most was Atari or Nintendo. Cartoons. We loved roller skating or bike riding, fishing.
        1980 was kind of a boring year for things invented or happening. Unless your into govt. & politics or cars. That’s a different story.
        Did you answer this prompt? When I check out your blog it doesn’t show me the new or recent posts from you.

        Same, lately though I go through and read posts, like them and later on it doesn’t show that I liked it. Or there’s certain people that I try to view their posts and it won’t show.
