i Love the 80s, the Later Decades Not So Much

Yes, it is true, i love the 1980s.  The 90s were worse and the less said about the new millennium the better.  i'm not religious, but if i was i would be praying (with a vengeance) for the end of the world.  C-c-c-c-come on.  Does anyone out there have a fully functional time machine - it could be Delorean, phone booth, etc?  Oh, yeah, do you also have a copy of a sports almanac or lottery results from the 80s or 90s that i could borrow?   

There is a better than non-zero chance i know something about 80s pop music and movies if anyone were inclined to ask and couldn't take the 10 seconds to find it on Bing (or that other search engine/portal, whatever it is called).  Just don't ask me to give you the lyrics to any Kesha songs - she does have lyrics, right? 

The 80s were an era of unbridled awesomeness.  It really wasn't the 80s for me before Ronald Wilson Reagan took office in 1981.  Conversely, the 80s ended in 1990 or 1991 when the good Bush was still in office.  It wasn't all Wham! and Back to the Future, i'm sure there must have been some bad things somewhere in the decade.  Life couldn't have been completely Wedding Singer-ish.  You took away the Reagan/Bush America and very,very, very bad things happened.

Johnny Hates Jazz saw it in the 80s - "Turn Back the Clock".  American cannot go forward with out going back - you could do a lot worse than going back to the 80s.
