I started a family and had less free time. It’s funny, my Uncle still raves about the 1950’s. I always joke that he stopped inputting information after 1959.
But I’m a chip off the old block, I suppose…I stopped inputting information after 1989.
I saw Van Halen, Simple Minds, U2…all live during the middle of that decade. They were all in their prime as well.
Not sure if I’m looking back with rose colored glasses or not, but I just remember a more sweet and innocent decade. The mood of those years was really peppy and fun.
young 18, U2 Joshua Tree concert, got a ticket for 20 bucks, storming the stage, all of us, and front stage, people standing up on the folding chairs, many falling down, good friend Nora wanting to help them go back and get aid, wanted me to come with her.
Oh hell no, I’m not missing this concert.
She never talked to me again.
