I even recorded the solemn blank Christmas week in 1979 with a really formal message.

I mean it was never ‘easy’.
The 80s wasn’t exactly a barrel of laughs, but it didn’t all take place at such a frantic pace, and if you were marginallsed, at least the school day generally ended with the bell.

I was intrigued to find out what Dynasty sounded like. Don’t recall that one at all. It came in at 20 and had gone the following week. It appears to be a Chic kind of deal.
