80s child here and let me tell you that this was the best decade for being a child and teenager. This was every town in America back then when the internet/social media did not exist. This was my life at one point with a teenage brother sporting an Appetite for Destruction, Iron Maiden, Van Halen or Metallica T-shirt. He had the BMX bike and I had the ET Big Wheel. The summertime was never ending, the sun shined a lot brighter and 5 cent Now & Laters took out a few teeth. I’ll never forget the day when I walked into the house to find the tv on…a countdown began, a moon-man appeared and this channel called MTV was introduced right before my eyes. I was in awe. I’ll never forget that moment. MTV, the HBO intro (look it up), Fraggle Rocks, Apple IIe, the 85/86 Chicago Bears, jelly shoes/bracelets, Garbage Pail Kids, Banana seat bikes, BMX bikes, big wheels, Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Sat morning cartoons, cereal with prizes inside…I’d take all that over any iPhone/Internet/Social media that plagues the world now. 80s generation, the last generation to know life before/after the Internet and all else to come with it. Perhaps, this is why us 80’s kids loved that time so much. Perhaps this is why later gens are watching this with admiration of a world they will never know. Keep life real people. Live it 80’s style. Take a walk, talk to the locals, buy from a locally owned store, buy a record, get a mullet, ride a bike and appreciate the small things. 2024 now and wow… “the sun is the same in a relative way but your older, shorter of breath…one day closer to death” Pink Floyd 🤙🏻

Years? Lol

[@johncbeer]

@ Oh most definitely. Did you see the breakneck speed with which his fingers were sifting through those records, while managing to pause at ones that interested him, and then resume flipping? There was no latency between his brain, eyes and fingers. Go into any retro vinyl store and watch the others. I guarantee most of them can't move with this speed or dexterity. He truly is among the elite.
