The decade of the 1980s has been called the Decade of Decadence.
Decadence is defined as "the act or process of falling into an
inferior condition or state; deterioration; decay" or my favorite,
"unrestrained or excessive self-indulgence." For a decade that
brought us Cabbage Patch Kids, Garbage Pail Kids, leg-warmers and
New Wave, was it really a state of deterioration? For one kid
growing up in the Central Valley of California, it was a time of
self-discovery . . . a transformation from a kid, to a teenager, to
a young adult . . . his growing up years. At times utterly
hilarious, at times poignant and powerful, Tom relives his teenage
years in this true-to-the-last-word memoir. Where were you when
John Lennon died? When the Space Shuttle blew up? When Lawrence
Taylor ended Joe Theisman's career on live TV? When the Loma Prieta
earthquake rocked Game 3 of the 1989 World Series? Tom will tell
you where he was and what it meant to him. You'll also hear about
first kisses, first loves, a joke about your Uranus, avoiding
fistfights, the joys of minimum-wage jobs, college roommates, and
WHOLE LOT MORE. If you're one of the 70 million Americans who can
claim at least one teen year in the decade, you can relate to the
era . . . if your kids can't understand your fondness for your
Breakfast Club and Princess Bride DVDs, this book may teach them a
thing or two about YOUR growing up years.
