The Twisted History of 1984

[@paulboudreau3754]

Ah, 1984 was my favorite year. I was in the navy but hadn't been to sea yet. I spent 6 months in Saratoga NY going to nuclear prototype school. 20 years old and learning how to operate a nuclear reactor. Saratoga was a party town in the summer. I lived about a mile from the back gate to the track. Prince, Purple Rain, Ghostbusters in the movie theater at the same time. (I could hear the ghostbusters theme in the adjacent theater while Prince was getting ready to sing Purple Rain. First Mtv music awards with Madonna gyrating on the stage in a wedding dress. ZZ top with the fuzzy guitars. It was epic. Then next year I spent half the year in a submarine winning the cold war. Not as much fun.

1984 was the peak of Western Civilization for sure. Life in the 1980's feels like an impossible wonderful dream compared to life now.
