Waz Happening Man?

What was going down in 1980?

                   Well first let's define the 80's--I agree 

In 1980 this is what was happening in the world. 

Ronald Reagan  was president         








            
                      Mount St. Helens erupted.


        










Pac-Man was released.







First woman appointed to the Supreme            Court.












The wreckage of the Titanic  was discovered.


     





Cabbage Patch Kids were born.


The Berlin Wall came down. 












The rating PG-13 was invented.






The hole in the Ozone Layer  was discovered.   


The space shuttle the Challenger exploded during take off. 




The World Wide Web was invented.


                       






                           Halley's Comet passed by.






MTV was created.












The eighties was a pretty great time to live in. Of course it had its faults as well as its triumphs but all in all it was a pretty fantastic time in history. In the eighties multiple block buster movies came out like: E.T., Poltergeist, Flashdance, Risky Business, Ghostbusters, The Karate Kid, Back to the Future, Top Gun, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and Dirty Dancing—just to name a few. Pop culture was at its best with the greats like Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Bon Jovi leading the way. Fashion was a blast. The sleeves were as big as the hair. Shirts were made in colors more vibrant than the sun and all denim was doused in acid. In the eighties the world was still small, there was no cell phones or Internet (well not until the end of 1989) or twitter or whatever, it was simpler and more enjoyable time.
