Here are some great things about the 80's: Bloom County, Opus the penguin, and Bill the Cat! Oop! Ack! Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler. Bruce Springsteen. Feel free to contribute further... |

The 80s are memorable for the arrival on this living coil of one Barky, who has been delighting her parents and associates ever since, on and off... :D A |

I'm pretty sure I bought it in 79 ... and I remember they were being lauded even way back then as the "Second Beatles". The greatest thing about that decade (for me) had to be the birth of my twin sons in 82! (Even though I spent the rest of that decade listening to Kermit, Raffi or Sharon Lois and Bram). |
