15 Things That Will Turn 30 in 2015
1985 was a great year.
It's also the oldest year I can still remember. (Don't do the math, it'll only hurt your head.) But little did my kindergartener self know what wonderful things were being birthed into the world back then.
What pop cultural goodies are celebrating three decades of greatness this year? Let's take a look...
1. The Golden Girls - Thank you for being a timeless piece of sitcom glory.
2. The Breakfast Club - To this day I have yet to try a Corn-Pops-and-Pixy-Stix sandwich on white bread.
3. Back to the Future - Great, now I have that Huey Lewis and the News song stuck in my head.
4. The compact disc - Sadly, I didn't own my first CD player until 1993.
5. Clue (the movie) - I can recite every line of dialogue, and I've attended several midnight screenings of this film. In unrelated news, I'm still single.
6. "We Are The World" - Still waiting on that "brighter day," fellas.
7. Microsoft Windows - Version 1.0 had a hard disk of 512 KB, two double-sided floppy disk drives, and a graphics adapter card.
8. Tommy Hilfiger - As if white people needed another excuse to buy overpriced jeans.
9. Thundercats - Is it me, or did a lot of 80s cartoons feature scantily clad and extremely muscular protagonists?
11. The Goonies - "It's our time, down here."
12. VH1 - MTV's younger sister with an old soul who later developed a penchant for imitating sassy black women.
13. Whitney Houston's debut album - "How Will I Know" if this collection of pop perfection will still shine bright 30 years later? Just press play.
14. The Moldavian Massacre season finale on Dynasty - A lot of shoulder pads and sequins sacrificed themselves for the making of this May sweeps stunt.
15. The first dotcom/Internet domain - Unfortunately I have no idea which one it is.
