assistant: I'll agree. Much of the decade was good. Gang violence hadn't taken such
a hold, also. The first half of the 80's sucked for me, personally,
cause I was in the military.
And, hey, I listened to some of that eras music (The Talking Heads and
The Police and a few others>.
My favorite "eras" or such were the late 60's/early 70's and most of the
90's. Perhaps because I was in Jr. and Sr. High School during the former
and free of hard drugs during the latter (kinda a rebirth, or new
childhood for me this decade). I was either in the military or addicted
to drugs during the 80's. Bad mojo that taints my memories of the entire
decade, perhaps.
