We noticed the heat. My high school had one classroom with a window unit. They had to pry us out of there after the bell ended the class.

--And you could count on a woman being a woman and not a man wanting to be a woman with a huge bush.

And you know, the whole Cold War/fear of being nuked.

--Well, we still have that plus islamic fanatical terrorist and dirty bombs and shite.

Black community lived in fear.

--white community lives in fear. I don't like any community living in fear.

Bunch of vets running around with PTSD.

--Still have more than we should amount of veterans running around with PTSD.

Reefer was shitty and no craft beer.

-- reefer? Craft beer? Real men don't drink craft beer, son.

Stan Lee had yet to create the Fantastic Four.

--We had more than enough Captain America comics laying around, Batman and Superman comics. Godzilla, monster movies.

Michael Jordan hasn’t started playing basketball yet.

--We had the Mick, Whitey Ford, and Yogi Berra. We also hadJohnny Unitas and the Baltimore Colts.

Alabama had already claimed a few fake titles

--This will never change with Alabama entitlement.

I’ll pass, but I like Ike

--Ike. Yes. We had Ike.

So, in closing...Yes. I would like to live in the 50's again. No rock and roll? Better, we had the Blues.

Grew up in the 70s and it kicked arse. Probably not for adults though.

We didn't have AC in the schools then either.

No bs social media. Get to listen to the tunes of Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra.


You can delete Facebook and listen to whatever music you want. Go nuts. Merry Christmas.

Point noted, but borrowing money in the early 80’s was much more expensive, so those loaning it were doing better.
