Cue Bowling for Soup

Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she’s uncool
Cause she's still preoccupied

Ahhhh, I'm the oldest so far? I graduated in 1980. They didn't have cameras back then so no pictures, sorry.

Same, 1980 for me as well.

So far I think I am the youngest here. I graduated high school in 2009.

1972, when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
Two pictures from high school.

and for graduation

Graduated in 1990, born in 1972 - there were no dinosaurs in 1972, but bell bottoms, polyester, butterfly collars, insanely wide neck ties (like 6 - 8 inches), and Jerry Garcia were all HUGE!!!

2004

The Tsunami Disaster


Highest grossing movie of the year


Most played song


Best Film of the Year

2000...and I have no idea who these people are:

a couple more from 1985...

So...1987 brought us ALF, a stock market crash, the Fox network, Prozak, the Simpsons, "bunny boiling", and disposable contacts.
