For the most part, Prince went down hill after that. My kids looked at my Thriller cd (wore that tape out too), and said "That's Michael Jackson?!" I told them that at one time he was cute. Heh, 1985 and movies: Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. To this day, I wish I had left well enough alone and settled for Tina's We Don't Need Another Hero video. ;-) I wore my Purple Rain tape out!

I was <i>born</i> in 1984 and y'all were graduating. I loved "Wall Street". We watched it in my Econ class. :-) Thanks for sharing LaShawn. Goodness, posts like this make me feel like a baby.

My "must be gettin' old" moment came when I overheard a couple of young uns describing 'The Princess Bride' as "this really old movie." Oh well, old or not, it was a wonderful movie, and after I saw a 'Biography' featuring Andre the Giant where he expressed how much he enjoyed acting in 'The Princess Bride,' I just liked it that much more.

I was 15 in '85. Does seem like a long time ago, and yesterday, all at the same time. The Breakfast Club - CLASSIC! Around the World In A Day was a very disappointing follow-up to Purple Rain. And yes, 1985 was a VERY LONG time ago. How long? The Kansas City Royals won the World Series. Check out the standings for this year (and each of the last 10) and that really seems remarkable! Time flies when you're having fun......

In fact, the most harmful greed is not of "the rich" to get richer. This is what makes the world go round. The most harmful greed is that of "the poor" - to not only request but demand that others "pull the wagon" from them. The sorriest of all are "the poor" who simply waited for someone to take them out of New Orleans while autos were abandoned - stealing a car is better than drowning. Others walked out of town rather than drown. Good comment on greed.

My parents registered major disapproval when I used their money to buy Elvis records. If you think you’re out of the entertainment cultural loop now, wait’ll you’re 60.

(I was having this urge to hear "Computer Blue": love that guitar!) Loved the movie too. I have it on DVD but I won't watch it in mixed company and I have to keep my finger on "mute" and "fast-forward"! That's a lotta work for a movie isn't it? ;) I’m an ’89 almost graduate, and I have “Purple Rain” in my car CD player right now! (I was having this urge to hear “Computer Blue”: love that guitar!)
