  • Who else misses the 80's? This is one of those songs that puts me in the nostalgic mood. This tribute video has a variety of clips from 80's TV and movies, and goes beyond the typical teenager and John Hughes movies that usually dominate these type of videos.
    What other songs take you back?

Remember after school coming home and watching things like Batman, WKRP, Welcome Back Kotter. Remember figuring out which of your friends were each member of the A-Team. The weird feelings you would get watching the shiny aerobic outfits. Before you owned a VCR renting one along with movies for a weekend sleepover. Older cousins who would rent really bad horror movies like Maniac and Funhouse.

They were husband and wife, 62 and 58 years old at the time. They really spoiled me. Spanish people are so friendly and outgoing. And of course, Spain has such incredible history. I lived just two blocks away from Rio Guadalquivir which is the river used by Christopher Columbus to bring back gold to Spain from the New World. Pretty historical.

    The great thing about modern technology is we can revisit the audio/video memories of the 80s just by typing into the search box at UA-cam. But I would give anything to be able to go back to an 1980s mall, full of people, full of stores, the sound of the fountains, the smell of Drakkar Noir filling the air when you walked into the anchor department store. There's quite a sad feeling you get when you go to your 80s mall in the 2020s and realize---if it's even still there----that you can never go back to what it was like way back when.
