Tuesday, November 22, 2011: TWOfer Tuesday: The "March, 1985" Edition




March, 1985.

I was in my Junior year of High School. Ronald Reagan was just starting his 2nd term as President of the United States, while Mikhail Gorbachev replaces Konstantin Chernenko as leader of the Soviet Union.

On March 15th, the first Internet domain name is registered (symbolics.com).

"Amadeus" wins Best Picture at the 57th Annual Academy Awards.

Wayne Gretzky breaks own NHL season record with 126th assist, and Madison Square Garden hosts the very first WrestleMania, where Hulk Hogan & Mr T beat Rowdy Roddy Piper & Paul Orndorf.

And here are a couple of songs that were on the charts that month.

Saturday, November 12, 2011: Stay Golden, Neil Young



Man, what a failure! I really bit off more than I could chew with Color Week.

I should have planned for this a lot more diligently. Every single day there were at least 6-12 more songs I could have went with.

For next Valentines Day I was thinking about "Love Week" - songs with Love in the title. I'm thinking that might have to turn into Love Month.

Seriously. I'm not even joking.

An entire month of Love. Mmmmmmmm.

Anyway.

I'll leave it to the great Neil Young to lead us out into the golden sunset of Color Week.

As always, thank you gentle reader for coming along these journeys, and your regularly scheduled coolness will resume on Monday.

Enjoy.
