Where as now as far away from this…



As we were from this in 1984…




And we’re as far away from this…



As we were from this…



And we’re as far from this…



As we were from this…




If you remember 1984, as I do, you’re old.

KSMB in Lafayette had just switched formats from K94-- the Stereo Rock to Hit Radio 94 and a half, KSMB.

Ray Parker, Jr singing Ghostbusters was one of the first non-rock songs I heard on my morning drive to USL the Monday after the switch, and I thought to myself "WTF is this on my station?"

BYU was the national champion that year in college football. What a strange year.

My first is next month. 1984-1988 was the greatest four year stretch in this country’s history.

I graduated high school in 84. We were toying with late 60’s/ early 70’s muscle cars or taking the junk that came after and making them go fast. Wish we would have held on to them now. Socially most of the girls were thin and still put out with the AIDS scare coming on. Beautiful time to be young and alive.

The weed was much less expensive. At least one of those years was lost.

My first child was born in October of 83 so I suppose I was busy with work and coming home and working around the house and playing with him. All those years run together for me. It was a cool time but damn if I can remember which year was which.

Great point…. 1984 was better than 40 years before it and 40 years after it.

The movies were epic that year when I was under 10. I only saw them because 50 cents was in reach of my officer parents in Japan. I for sure should not have been brought to "The Killing Fields" in the theater then.

Oddly enough, I remember exactly where the theater was on Camp XXX when we saw Ghostbusters, and where the parking lot was.
