Ok this may not be fair to you but surely you can't think that the 80's were all that great. . . . .
Let's start off with this:
in 1983, 220 United States Marines died in the Barracks Bombing in Beirut,
15 of those people were close friends of mine. . . .
Then there was this:
Pope John Paul II shot twice
Martial law in Poland
Anwar Sadat Assasinated
John Lennon is assassinated by Mark David Chapman.
Richard Pryor gets badly burned trying to freebase cocaine.
Saddam Hussein launches war against Iran for close to a decade over oil rights.
Bill Gates licenses MS-DOS, makes next to nothing on the deal.
Israel invades Lebanon
Falkland Islands War
Lebanese Phalange Massacre Palestinians at Sabre and Shatila
Korean airliner shot down
US peacekeepers killed in Lebanon
US invades Grenada
AIDS breaks out
US becomes a debtor nation
Reagan tax reform
The Shuttle Challenger
The assassination of Ghandi
Chernobyl
The Iran-Contra Scandal?
Baby Jessica
Just a few items out of the 80's . . .
