    The song reminds me when I bought a new car. January 15th 1985. An '85 Camaro. It had 12 miles on it. When I turn on the radio, this was the first song that was playing. I'll never forget that.

      "When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious... do'oh!!! Can't get up to '88 because of the traffic? Oh wait a minute? Is that Mr Strickland out for a sunday drive??? I sense you are part of a generation who feels that the last 30 years may have been better to live in the the next 30. I was due to see Simple Minds this year but couldn't for obvious reasons, I am hoping for 2021 to be better. No disrespect to modern artists, but when you listen to most of what is on the radio, it is total toilet. Most best new music is not being given the airtime it deserves. I yearn for simpler times, chiefly because at heart, I am not ashamed to admit... I have a simple mind....

    I was lucky enough to be 15 years old in the winter of 1985, in the 8th grade when I went and saw this movie with my girl friend. Before the movie started, I'd just wasted about $10 at the arcade trying to beat Mr Sandman on Punch-Out!! to no avail, so needless to say we didn't get any snacks at the show. Very rarely has a movie and a song defined the teen generation of the time so perfectly like this did back in the mid 1980s. Although I didn't know it then, it was a great time to be alive.

    I was born in 97' and Im 17 now and I'm obsessed with the late 70s and 80s. I really can't stand my generation. Music and movies like this make me wish I was born in 1965 so I could have enjoyed my teenage years and early 20s in the 70s-80s bc it was such an amazing time. The fashion, the love, the music... It was a simpler time. A great time to live.

For me - the 70's were the shit - Best music (NOT Disco - think Mahavishnu, Return to Forever, Zappa, EWF, Led Zep, Doobies, Steely Dan, I know they were still producing in the 80's, but the 70's is when they Became who they were... LOT's of Great Jazz Fusion, Funk, R&B, Rock, etc... That was THE decade...for me!

You see us as you want to see us. In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal. Does that answer your question?

We also had things like record shops which sold CDs, tapes and records. We had just as much access to music as today just in a different format. I’m not that old either. The 80s were the best generation for real music with heart.
