So I may be showing my age a little but enough already, can we have the 80's back?

Lets go back in time before speed skates, yeah you remember the old dirty tan skates that everyone used.

Friday nights at the roller rink was the place to be, and you better have your Coca-Cola shirt on.

Hip-hop was just breaking out and was taking the world to a new place in music.

The 80's were so bright you had to wear shades all day long and what better pair of shades to have then the classic Ray-bans.

We're all about keeping up with time in the 80's. I mean you gotta have back up incase a battery dies, right?

Speaking of time, you had to have one of these, and man there where 1000's to pick from.

It just wouldn't be the 80's without a Swatch Watch.

By the way just so all you millennials know, 80's started the ripped up jeans craze.

What I wouldn't give for a Delorean right now.

Man they where good times, easier times, safer times....

Ah, the 80's...

Prescription drugs were only very rarely prescribed for mood disorders (Prozac was JUST coming on the scene), school shootings weren't yet on anyone's radar, email, Facebook, and Twitter were yet to be invented, you could smoke cigarettes in shopping malls and cocaine was still cool...

Marijuana was called grass, you could purchase trucker speed from the ads on the back pages of 'girly' magazines (as they were called), and the Church was more concerned with kids playing Dungeons & Dragons than with Priests playing with kids.

No dubstep, hardly any AIDS, and Princess Diana was a real life fairytale...

Cell phones were the size of bricks; brightly colored neon clothes lit by shiny disco balls.

So glad to have been there and enjoyed a small slice of that culture 😊

Ammm the good old days .....

The only thing that I really miss from the 80s was my age at that time...

1980s I am remembering dialler landline phone

WOW... the 80s... I became a teen late 80's. I remember wearing a swatch watch and ripped up jeans.

Showing my age! I want the 70s back. Better yet the 50s.

In the 1980s there were a lot of things that I miss now
I expect that some of this fashion will come back with certainty
For time repeats itself

I remember being so bummed when the 80’s ended. 😄

Let’s not forget all the best movies also came out in the 80’s.

Ah nostalgia...it ain't what it used to be 😆

The 80’s ruled hard!

Heh, good times. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Ray!

I just saw a DeLorean on the road yesterday. :)
