Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social (and sometimes nostalgic) aspects that directly effects Generation Reagan / Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.
Freep mail me to be added or dropped. See my home page for details and previous articles.
“Moonlight” on CBS sure looks an awful lot like the old “Forever Knight” from the 80s (about a vampire cop in Canada)
I see Rambo is coming out in theaters. Has Stallone been digitally remastered?
The 80s ruled in every way.
Better music:
Compare Motley Crue to any of that modern “metal.” Compare Tone Loc to modern Hip Hop.
Better movies:
“Real Genius” vs. “American Pie.” Pulleeze. “Superman IV” vs. “The Fantastic Four.”
Better sitcoms:
“Who’s the Boss” compared to “Insert Generic Reality Show Here.”
Better TV Babes: Alyssa Milano vs. Debra Messing...
Better supermodels. Christie Brinkley compared to...no one. She compares to no one!
And lest we forget: Better politicians.
Ronald Reagan vs...Bush. Love ya W, but you’re NO Reagan. In no way, shape or form.
More evidence that they are just totally out of ideas. How long before the Bionic Woman takes on a corporation that’s destroying the environment?
Debra Messing isnt the typical hollywood beauty, but she has great hair, and isnt too shabby....i could see me with her....sans the restraining order...
Oh, I’d hit it, don’t get me wrong.
*sheepishly looks around for wife*
You obviously meant to write "Superman II," because that was the only good Superman movie made in that decade.
They are making an A-Team movie where they are vets of the Gulf War.
One of our local stations just started showing “Happy Days,” “Laverne and Shirley,” and “Mork & Mindy” re-runs. I was 3 when HD started, but each episode of each show we’ve seen is funnier than any sitcoms we’ve seen lately.
We tried “Til Death”, and “Back to You,” but they got old fast. I just hope “Life” survives the strike. I love that show.
I’ll stick with reruns of original Bonanza.
Amen! Compare Miami Vice, Magnum PI, Simon & Simon with anything on today. Compare Van Halen/Van Hagar with any music out now.
If Stephen Cannell is involved, then I’ll consider watching it.
I was a metal fan in the 80’s, but now I am listening to Sirius radio’s “First Wave” station. All the original alternative bands— Smiths, Talking Heads, The Cult, The Cure. I think popular music peaked in the 80’s and has been on a rapid decline since.
Now, popular music seems to be either hip-hop or retread style or retread songs from the 80’s.
You made me get weepy, dammit! You mentioned Reagan and I started getting misty and feeling fuzzy inside.
I listen to First Wave, Hair Nation, the Big 80s, Classic Vinyl, Classic Rewind, Buzzsaw, Sirius Patriot of course, and even Symphony Hall and Prime Country (80s country) once in a while.
