I mean, whatever happened to the music... the music that was sung with passion by someone who could actually sing... the music that, when you heard it, took you to another place; a memory, a feeling, a different time, a daydream... You just can't top Louis Armstrong and What a Wonderful World, or Ella Fitzgerald and At Last. There is no one that even comes close to them in our generation...
Whatever happened to good old fashioned romance?
Whatever happened to men tipping their hats and holding the door open for a pretty lady?
Whatever happened to ladies?
Whatever happened to dancing? Somewhere along the way it's gone from swing and ballroom dancing to, for lack of a better word, the booty roll... now don't worry, i'm not judging here. Just wondering ;-)
And then there's the things from my childhood that I miss, or occasionally think about. Like,
- Trapper Keepers
- Slap Bracelets
- Nintendo and Gameboy... the originals.
- Zach Morriss
- High Tops
- Kenny Lofton, Omar Vizquel, Carlos Baerga, Eddie Murray, Jim Thome, Albert Belle, Manny Ramirez, Tony Pena... well you get the point by now... (if you're from Ohio...)
- Salt-n-Peppa
- En Vogue
- The Macarena
- Punky Brewster
- Alf
- Goosebumps
- Captain Planet
- "WHOA" and "You're in trouuuubbblle Mister!!!"
- Pinky and the Brain
- SIKE!!!! or NOTTTT!!
- "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"
- The Oregon Trail
- Hey Dude... Ted, especially haha
- Leg warmers
- wrist warmers
- perms
- the Backstreet Boys
- Family Ties
-Who's the Boss
Ohhh the list goes on... I will stop myself here...
This blog goes out to you, children of the 80's and 90's...
