    My dad is 54 and he is stuck in the 80's. He keeps telling me how great it was and how music and the world was so much fun/better then and how people are too sensitive nowadays. We always make fun of him for being too old school but to be honest, he might be right.

    This came out the summer before senior year. My girlfriend and I used to hang out in her parents' living room with MTV playing for hours. This was one of our favorite songs. I would sing it to her while we danced slowly.
    We went our separate ways once school started but remained friends throughout the years and miles. She passed away in 2021. What a huge loss. She really was human sunshine. I'm sure glad we had the summer of 84. It was easily one of the best times of my life. Rest easy, Angelica. You were magic to anyone who knew you.
