[Army Air Corps]

"The late '70s was about mellowing out, getting laid and watching "MASH" and good movies. The early '80s was about buying stocks, lovingly conditioning the leather seats of your bitchin' Honda Prelude, and wearing argyle sweater vests. That's not even a fair fight."

I thought that the 1970s was about living like hippies but with less vigor. That and crappy domestic, economic, trade, defense, energy, and foreign policy from 1976 to 1980.

I do not recall seeing scores of Honda Preludes (especially among the Yuppies - many of whom happened to be cousins of mine). I do recall heavy metal, hair bands, cool movies about whacking commies, TV shows with cool cars and leggy women, sitcoms that did less preaching and more entertaining, a sense of confidence in one's self and the nation, and a growing economy as well as Reds on the run.

Amen! THAT's the 80s I'm talking about!
