blast from the past

Ever look back and think the things we had in our young adult years were really cool. The wife and I was channel surfing and got real excited when we came across the movie Footloose. For some reason we thought this was one of the best movies in the 80's. About 20 minutes into the movie we were looking at each other and both thinking the same thing. What were we thinking? I'll admit the sound track was great. (Wander whatever happened to Kenny Loggins?), but the movie was horrible. Story line bad, acting bad and the dancing really wasn't that good either. Who runs through an old warehouse, jumping around, and throwing their arms in the air because they can't dance? Does Kevin Bacon look back at himself and see how stupid he looks? Well I'm sure it helps someone in their "Six degrees to Kevin." Probably each generation has something they look back on and says "What were we thinking?" The Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton administrations comes to mind quickly, but I'm talking about fashions. Things like parachute pants, the jacket with all the zippers, and rolling the bottom of your pants up a few times. The 70's had disco, shirts with really big collars and bellbottom pants. But they had an excuse along with the 60's generation; they were doing a little too much experimenting if you know what I mean. Styles have away of coming back though, and I say long live the mullet.
