      Yes! Women began to know our value, we were all very hopeful about the explosion of technology, options widening, the world getting more accessible, but not too much so like today. We still had to go through more channels for things, but it taught us skills to last a lifetime. Gen X and very early millennials know this was a unique transition time that was so very special

    My Favorite Song of all time.
    Growin' up, you don't see the writing on the wall
    Passin' by, movin' straight ahead, you knew it all
    But maybe sometime if you feel the pain
    You'll find you're all alone, everything has changed
    Play the game, you know you can't quit until it's won
    Soldier on, only you can do what must be done
    You know in some way you're a lot like me
    You're just a prisoner and you're tryin' to break free
    I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky
    I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher
    Gonna be your man in motion, all I need's this pair of wheels
    Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire (Ooh, oooh, oooh)
    Burning up, don't know just how far that I can go
    (Just how far I go)
    Soon be home, only just a few miles down the road
    I can make it, I know, I can
    You broke the boy in me but you won't break the man
    I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky
    I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher
    Gonna be your man in motion, all I need's this pair of wheels
    Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire
    I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea
    I can feel St. Elmo's fire burnin' in me, burnin' in me
    Just once in his life a man has his time
    And my time is now, I'm coming alive
    I can hear the music playin', I can see the banners fly
    Feel like you're back again, and hope ridin' high
    Gonna be your man in motion, all I need's this pair of wheels
    Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire
    I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky
    I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher
    Gonna be your man in motion, all I need's this pair of wheels
    Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire
    I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea
    I can feel St. Elmo's fire burnin' in me
    Burnin', burnin' in me, I can feel it burnin'
    St. Elmo's fire, St. Elmo's fire

      Your absolutely correct. The reason is the music was so much better and more unique back then. Today's music you hear on the radio and that the kids listen to streaming is basically all the same. Most of today's pop music is written by the same 3 or 4 songwriters. No joke! No wonder it's all the same crap.

    Biggest respect to the song's inspiration. It is only vaguely related to the movie, in fact the producers literally only requested that the song have the phrase "St Elmo's Fire" somewhere in it.
    It was largely inspired by the then current "Man in Motion" tour; An effort by Canadian paraplegic athlete Rick Hansen to travel around the world in his wheelchair. Hansen would eventually travel through 34 countries on 4 continents to raise money and awareness about spinal chord injuries and the challenges wheelchair users face on a daily basis. The Rick Hansen foundation continues its efforts to this day, and uses this song as its theme.
