O.J. Simpson
is not remembered for his
football
or acting careers as much as for his sensational
murder
and
wrongful death
trials.
People are wearing
bell bottoms
again, despite everyone's best efforts.
We think the
pop culture
of your time is
unintentionally hilarious
.
Salsa
is outselling
ketchup
.
People have taken to
driving short steel spikes through different parts of their bodies
--not just their ears--as a
fashion statement
, and in many cases it looks surprisingly good.
Riding a
motorcycle
has become a respectable
pastime
for
middle-aged
men.
The
Space Age
miscarried, however:
You can sit in front of a cheap, powerful
computer
in your own
bedroom
and gain access to a generous percentage of the world's cumulative knowledge and learning. Or, if that's not your speed, you can use the same system to look at
pictures of naked people
.
Many young people have had many casual sexual experiences, but have never had
sex
without a
condom
.
There is going to be
peace
and
war
and
prosperity
and
poverty
and
unity
and
mutual distrust
and
charity
and
greed
in 2001; in this way, it'll be more like 1975 or 2027 than not.
I'd love to go back to the late 80's and tell them about our time
