I remember the 1980s. I remember when TVs were encased in large hunks of wood. I remember when Walter Cronkite signed off for the last time. I remember making $3.15 an hour at minimum wage. I remember "Wha'choo talkin' 'bout, Willis?" I remember when you could only buy fruits in season. I remember Sally Ride becoming the first American woman in space. I remember saying, "I don't shut up; I grow up. And when I look at you, I throw up."
I Random Recollections from the 1980s is a stream-of-consciousness book about what it was like to grow up in the eighties. The Reagan Years, The Me Decade. It was a time of cultural and technological shifts. It was a time of riding your bikes around the neighborhood and exploring new things with your friends.
Darren Hartley has compiled both personal and pop culture snippets of being a Gen X'er and living in the greatest decade of all time. Whether you grew up in the 1980s or are fascinated by this era, this book will provide a unique perspective on what it was like to experience this decade firsthand. It will take you on a journey through time, exploring the sights, sounds, and experiences of growing up in the 1980s.
So, prepare to take a little trip down memory lane. What do you remember?
