1984 was 40 fucking years ago. I’m gonna need a minute. These things creep up on me sometimes. That’s the year “Dune” came out, also “The Natural,” “The Karate Kid, “Sixteen Candles,” “Footloose,” and “The Terminator.”
Prince was singing “When Doves Cry” and Bruce Springsteen was “Dancing In The Dark.” We had Cyndi Lauper and Duran Duran, Madonna and Billy Idol.
Forty years before that would be 1944. Bing Crosby and Glenn Miller. Crazy shit, time.
