Michael Jackson and Madonna – Two Beloved 80s Stars
Michael Jackson costumes will be hot this Halloween. And I think that's great! It's totally acceptable to dress up as Michael. That's a fine tribute to his memory.
This is especially true if you consider "Thriller". Isn't this the ultimate Halloween song?
It's been 3 months since The King of Pop's untimely death and in another month "This Is It! The Movie" will be released in theaters across the country at the end of October.
I am saddened by all the sensational news coverage of Michael and his family over the last three months and glad it has started to die down.

Patrick Swayze Dies at 57 – He Will Be Missed
I just heard the news about the death of Patrick Swayze today, September 14th, 2009. It's very sad news indeed.
My impressions of Mr. Swayze are of a man who was always a fighter, fighting the deadly cancer that finally claimed his life.
I have heard that he was always very gracious and friendly with he fans.
Patrick Swayze is recognized as an accomplished actor, dancer and singer. His talents will be truly missed.
We are blessed with some absolutely awesome movies, though. Two of my favorites are Red Dawn and The Outsiders.
The Legacy of Michael Jackson, The King of Pop
Michael Jackson died yesterday afternoon and the reality of this unexpected event is still sinking in around the world.
I watched the Jackson 5 on the Mike Douglas show in the 1970's. I watched, glued to the screen, Michael bloom into the King of Pop on the Motown 25th Anniversary special in 1982 and, like millions of others across the globe, I was blown away!
I listened to Thriller repeatedly in the coming years. I watched Michael's pioneering videos in the early days of MTV.
The Golden Girls Star, Bea Arthur Lost Her Battle with Cancer Early Today
Bea Arthur, star of one of our favorite 80s sitcoms, The Golden Girls, died earlier today.
Estelle Getty passed away last year. Both were loved stars of the 80s comedy, The Golden Girls.
We will miss them both very much, but thankfully both women left us a wonderful show to watch over and over again.
Sorry, but we could not find any full episodes of The Golden Girls, Maude, or even All in the Family.
That just goes to what classic 80s TV shows they are. Betty white has gone on to star in numerous TV specials and sitcoms well into the 21st century.
The US Festival Summer 1983 – A Day to Remember
As graduation approached in the spring of 1983, I began to plan, well hope is more like it, that I could attend the US Festival in Southern California.
This was four days of live music and entertainment from all those acts we saw on MTV (back when they used to play music videos).
There were very few artists who did not play at The US Festival.
From Van Halen to the Scorpions, to The Clash and Missing Persons, there were more than 100 bands and musicians at The US Festival.

80s Pop Culture is Represented Awesomely on Family Guy
Thank You Seth McFarland!
In 21st Century Speak, Peter Griffin lingo
This is Frickin' Sweet!
Just about every episode of Family Guy makes fun of the 80s.
This one is not only no exception, but from the Bryan Adams Rip-Off, and the Men Without Hats dance at the party, to the appearance by Megatron from The Transformers, this one is fully funny and an excellent example of what makes the 80s such good material for comedy!
