I'm a little surprised by this, but I realized this morning that I actually miss the 1980's.
It appears I'm not the only one: Why Are You An Eighties Fan?
Most of this nostalgia is by those whose childhood was in that decade, but I was in my twenties and thirties, unmarried save for the final year, and lived either in the bohemian section of Cleveland or NYC. I played in New Wave bands, even at CBGB, edited a poetry quarterly, had my summers off, enjoyed a rich variety of acquaintances, had three careers, earned two graduate degrees, and knew the sheer, simple joy of being a young man during the Pax Americana.
I'm going to stop now as I'm getting depressed.
