1979 or 1989?

The last year before the onset of the cultural slush-pit of the 1980's

Carter was still Pres.

Bonzo and Lennon were still alive...

on edit: THE WALL

Why? Disco.

Look at everything that happened in 1329:

Antipope Nicholas V is excommunicated by Pope John XXII.

Aimone of Savoy becomes Count of Savoy.

Construction begins on the cathedral of Frombork, Poland.

Amberg, Germany passes to the Wittelsbach family.

Michael of Cesena is deposed as General of the Franciscans.

Stefan Dusan defeats the Bosnian ban Stefan II Kotromaniæ.

Wiesbaden is granted the right of coinage by Louis IV, Holy Roman Emperor.

David II becomes King of Scotland.

Births

Prince Lazar of Serbia (approximate date)

Deaths

June 7 - Robert the Bruce
Edward of Savoy, Count of Savoy
Oshin of Corycos, regent of Armenia (assassinated)

How can the answer be anything but 1329!?!?

:cry:

even after all these years... :hug: :pals: :cry:

Isn't that what the primaries were for?

1989 was ruined by the fourth grade.

No contest. It was a unique time, and one I will never forget.

1979 was fun. Gilles Villeneuve did many entertaining antics with that sardine-can-shaped Ferrari of his.

But the powers that be at Maranello decreed Scheckter had to be the champion. In return for this cosmic abomination, Ferrari got 21 years of bad karma.

"When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one............."

Post-Watergate/Vietnam rebelliousness was about to disappear, but it was still in the air. The music was awesome. The Clash ruled the Western world. By 1989, you couldn't listen to anything anymore.

There were so many of us hacked-off lefty kids that it still wasn't safe to be young and Republican, at least in my precinct.

Historians just repeat each other.

For God's sake, don't ruin it now!

1979. It was really the beginning of the 80's, which despite Ronnie Raygun was a cool time, culturally, in many ways. '89 was interesting because of the falling of communism, but '79 seemed like the beginning of things.

By the end of the 80's I was spent. Even though I was full of teenage angst in the later 70's I was still full of energy and not as jaded as one gets in their 20's. Of course, now a few months away from 40...it's getting better all the time.
