This whole thread is a trip down memory lane.
You could ride anywhere on a shitty 10-speed. 10 miles away? No biggie. My mom would call my friend’s mom and tell when I was expected and I’d ride away.
“Be home before dark.” Well, at 9:00 in the morning, dark was a million years away.
Royals were actually pretty good. I remember Brett chasing .400 in 1980. Every day you’d go to school and talk about what Brett did the night before and whether he’d end the season above .400. The bitterness of the loss to the Phillies in 1980.
MTV playing music videos. Legs and Hot for Teacher greatly impacted how I viewed women.
Sneaking into R rated movies at Oak Park Mall.
Never knew how good I had it until it was, in the words of The Rainmakers,* Long Long Gone.
* a woefully under-rated KC band. They came on the scene in the mid 80s about the the time I went to college. KY102 used to play them. I think I have a gun case with a KY102 bumper sticker on it somewhere.
