The 80's , The Greatest Decade Ever !!!

[fearsomefour]

Love me some Negro Modelo, my favorite beer!

Regular Modelo is piss water.
Negro Modelo is damn good.

That moment seriously made me happy when it happened......and now.

 

[fearsomefour]

Been a long time.

My friend says that Modelo is going out of business? Looks like it's Pacifico for you...

That's obviously a misunderstanding by your friend. The Mexican Govt. suspended all non-essential operations of most businesses including breweries. But it did not stop them. Modelo also brews Pacifico by the way and has never completely shut down. They temporarily suspended brewing and selling Corona because of name association with the virus but that suspension is over. Modelo is probably Mexico's largest brewer and a national icon, they would never shut them down completely. Export to the US is a significant part of their business but not the majority by a long shot. They sell internationally as well. They are probably bigger than Busch.

Sorry I've never been a fan of Bud, a bit too harsh for my palate. As a teen I drank Coors and Modelo because it's what my friend's father drank. LOL Coors was too sweet for my taste. Modelo Negro is my favorite.

Modelo Negro is my favorite.

I can get on board with that. It’s good.

Aside from losing my virginity in high school in 1983 (literally IN the school) the 80s sucked. I’ll never forgive the 80s for what it did to music. Hasn’t been the same since.

OK... you say "IN the school".

Please tell me... Exactly WHERE in the school did this go down? I'm dying to know now.

Let me just say I feel blessed being able to have grown up in So Cal in the '60s. The Vietnam War aside, the freedom to be just a normal teenager, partying on the beach at West Zuma or Leo Carrillo State Beach with my girlfriend and others, or sitting on the sidewalk outside a head shop on Sunset Blvd. in the middle of the night watching the crowds walk by. We were known to the beat cops and they simply would stop and joke with us. God, I miss the head of hair I had back then!! Nice and long and shaggy, with my girlfriend like most of the young women, bra-less in a tank top. It was our usual weekend hangout. We sometimes would walk over to the record shop a block away and browse the discs for an hour or so before going to a friend's for wine, weed, and sex.

Other times my girlfriend and I would go on long backpacks into the backcountry. It was a different world back then. It was safer to do those things. I traveled to Europe with simply a backpack and a Euro-Rail card. Again it was safer and though I went to Europe alone, I was never alone once I got there. It was easy to hook up with a girl and we would travel together for a while before she would go one way and I another. So we both would easily find another companion. The easiest way would be at the rail stations where there were accommodation booths where you could make a reservation at any hotel in the city. You would see a girl traveling alone, and offer to split the cost of a room and that was that.

That was my decade and I feel blessed to have had the freedom to really enjoy it. My parents only had two real rules. Don't get into trouble and keep our grades up. I've raised my son the same way. I taught him to really appreciate how he's growing up in a city (San Diego) that people pay thousands of dollars to vacation in. He knows that, so much so when I moved to Mexico and then to AZ he declined to go. He's living the dream of a free, confident, 22 years old single good looking young man in So Cal.

I think all of us have our own decades. We all share the same thing, however as we are all blessed to be living in the best country in the world. A place where millions aspire to come to. Love it, cherish it and appreciate the gift we have been given.

You know that little order table where they sold cups of french fries and the bbq pulled pork sammiches? That broom closet behind the counter was where the magic happened.... -X- @-X-

Announcer’s booth at the football field when everyone else was at an assembly. Nice little couch in there. Then again in the stairwell between classes. We locked the top and bottom sets of doors from the inside and had that whole huge area to ourselves. Man I miss Debbie. She had zero inhibitions.

Awesome. I was expecting much worse... location wise.


I just had a flashback to a "girlfriend" of mine back in HS (1980's). I used to give this girl a ride to school all the time so she didn't have to take the bus. She always gave me a super sloppy BJ on the way to school WHILE I was driving. She wasn't a spitter either. I never asked for it... not even the 1st time she did it. She just leaned over and started the process the 1st time without me expecting it in the slightest. I was literally shocked. She wasn't my girlfriend at all... just a girl I knew and was friendly with. There was no shame in her game either. I'd be stopped at a red light with cars on both sides of me that could clearly see her... she never cared or bothered to stop. She never told anyone about it either which I always found hard to believe. You saying your girl had no inhibitions gave me the flashback to this chick.

Anyway... now you know why I always looked to give her a ride to school. Drove by her bus stop on purpose daily.

I was 15 and my girlfriend was a classmate. I walked her home after school and was surprised that she lived in a trailer park. I mean like an ancient travel trailer with a single small bedroom in the rear. It was just her and her father who slept in the bedroom and she slept in the bed that was formed when the dining table was lowered. Her father wasn't around and no car in the parking spot so I assumed he was at work. So we start getting busy and she stopped and asked me if I was a virgin and I admitted I was. She smiled and said good cuz she was too and didn't want to be anymore and she handed me a condom. So I'm almost about to climax when all of a sudden I hear her dad yelling from the bedroom.

"G*dd*****t, hurry up and cum so I can get back to sleep I gotta work tonight!!" It scared the crap out of me but I couldn't stop so I didn't. All the while my girlfriend was moaning and laughing and yelled back "OK daddy I will!"

I was still there when her dad left. He looked at me and said with a heavy midwest accent. " I ain't gonna yell at you boy. You ain't done nothin I ain't done at your age." Then he left. My girlfriend looked at me and said she had told her dad she was gonna and he gave her the condoms she gave me.

Yep back in the '60's it was a different world. More prudish in some ways but in others much more open and realistic about life.

ha.... our HS had a stage in the gym . My gf at the time was a cheerleader at Holy Cross High. Her parents didnt like the fact that I went to a "state" school so wouldnt let her see me. Our first time was behind the curtain while a basketball game was going on in the gym. All her friends knew what she did, and she ended up getting kicked off the cheerleading squad because of it. And then her parents found out why..never did date her after that.. I felt so used LOL

Devo was fun for a minute
I graduated high school in 1987 and although i do agree with @-X- on 80's music, the early 80's music was outstanding. 80/81/82 began as an evolutionary continuation of the incredible 70's stuff.....then MTV came along and every jacknut around put out a video and sold themselves on image. Thats when pop began to rule the day and rock sold out until we got hair bands and formula rock...yuck.

I relish the 70's for the sound, the authenticity...and the 90's for killing hair bands. Unfortunately it wasn't to last. The new millennium brought the end to bands in general and music evolved into single "artists" with microphones. No shelf life. Nothing has changed since then, really.

There's some great stuff from the 80's don't get me wrong, but i can live without most of it.

I was also a tad too young to enjoy all the free cocaine.

It wasnt free unless you bought more than an eightball

To each their own of course, but the evolution of music is transparent, and the disappearance of band rock is indisputable.
