I was driving to work a few days ago - listening to mindless entertainment news about Madonna and A-Rod (taking a break from the usual NPR, duh!) after which none other than a New Kids on the Block song came on the radio. I started thinking sarcastically..."Am I in the 1980's?" Suddenly, many comparison's about the 1980's vs. 2008 popped in my head.
Top Ten Reasons We May Be Stuck in the 80's!
1. Madonna making headlines
2. New Kids on the Block release new song
3. A President Bush in the White House
4. Conflict in the Middle East
5. New Batman Movie
6. Greg Norman almost wins a British Open
7. Kathie Lee Gifford on morning TV
8. Prominent politician gives major speech in Berlin
9. US Budget reaches all time high (hits trillion dollar mark in 1987)
10. Savings and Loan Scandal
I'd like to think our country is progressing forward, learning from past political mistakes, watching new movies and sports stars, and listening to new music. Scary to think we're regressing a bit! Oh well- I'm off to watch a rerun of the Golden Girls (at least it's on a new invention called TiVo!!!)
