Playlist: Where I Was In… 1980?

So my this Friday blog post ends the 80’s were it started! Can I say something really smart to finish off this decade? I don’t know about that and maybe I should have break it up but I got to think of some stuff to say about the 70’s next, if I going backwards like did say I was going to do? I hardly remember the 80’s and less the 70’s but that’s when I was born, you know? Well after this post today, it’s only four posts/years to do until I’ve finished all the years from 1970 to 2001 which was the plan in the first place. Unless I do the 60’s and the rest of the 2000’s, what does everybody think about that, then?
