I've been listening to some 80s songs on YouTube.  one of them celebrated men and boys.  All three of the songs had a message to them.  The world has changed a lot over the years.

  • I remember the miners strike, the IRA bombings, AIDS and the Cold War. Adverts were actually played on the TV to tell people what to do in the event of a nuclear attack. The Frankie song Two Tribes depicts it very well. My childhood was a constant worry of being blown up.

    Technology started to advance, the problem was that most of it never really worked very well.

    My highlight of the 80’s was watching Live Aid on the Tv, Queen, The Quo, George Michael , David Bowie and Annie Lennox.

    I also passed my driving test the same year as Live Aid.
