Yes it was great being a kid in the 80's. Vaguely remember the lyrics to that show. Can't remember watching it but have a knack for remembering all tunes and songs. Was one weird show though from that clip. Tell the kids I teach that they don't know how much freedom we had without cell phones. I could go out, my Mom had know idea where I was, and couldn't get a hold of me if she wanted to. We also didn't get in trouble for constantly taking pictures and videos of all the questionable things we did.

At least you admit it. Step two is cleaning yourself up.

Elm, I wound up in the hospital because I ran a pitchfork into my foot,
I had been throwing compost and gigged myself pretty deep.
I had to have iv meds because doctors were afraid of serious infection and fungus inside.
They thought they might have to take my foot…
Luckily everything went good.
I’ll never forget how bad that mother father hurt though.. throbbing and intense pain.
Now I know why they chased Frankensteins monster with them.

The music pretty much died also, unless you were into overproduced, over commercialized, big hair bands who all sounded the same.

The 80’s, like every other decade, had some great stuff. But progress and time, marched on. I’m glad they did. In the 80’s nobody was talking about beavers and otters with anything other than 330s and #4 dbl longsprings. My state of Wisconsin, at the time, required furs be sold within a week of the close of a season. Huge coon catches were 200, in my state. Long lining, on a daily basis, was never discussed. Dogproofs, as we know them, weren’t used. The 1 1/2 coil was just getting looked at as a serious coon trap. The drawback being 25% chew-outs. It was not common at all to see laminations or double jaws. Nope, the 80s were fine, but I’d rather live now.

I liked the '50s. We did not buy muscle cars, we made them!!! and drove them hard. New interstate roads were being built everywhere, and while under construction the were free race tracks while the bridges were under construction we had open highway race tracks. Drove everything to max speed wound out tight......jk
