Wil Wheaton's post on Live Aid has just fully expressed how silly it feels to explain an 80s childhood to someone significantly younger than me. Hilarious!
I swear, I have this conversation every day at work with my two student assistants. They both turn 21 this year, so it's all "Kajagoogoo what?" and "the safety dance? What's that? Did you learn that in safety school when you were a kid?" Oh, and my favorite, "Yeah, my mom listens to 80s music." "How old is your mom?" "39." I am in the same age decade as one of my student assistant's parents. GAH!!!
