Andrew Ridgely (sp?)....

OK, here's one for our gay SBGs (well, and everyone else for that matter). During the 80's this heavy metal band was one of the leading acts in the world. Their lead singer (classically trained as an opera singer) is gay. Name the band and the singer.

Good guess, but no. Don't think I'd consider Queen heavy metal.

Perhaps the best memory of the 80's though was the fall of the Berlin Wall

Yes, that was a great event.  Though my personal favorite was November 6, 1984.

razor....isn't that the date of the general election with ronald reagan winning in a landslide over walter mondale?

WARHAWK

Is it?       I really couldn't say, since discussing politics has been banned.

BINGO.....Now Meister, How about an 80's question ?

[Robmeister]

Ok.....how'bout this'n:

True or False

The '80's was a decade marked by some of the lowest interest rates on record.

[Robmeister]

Here's another one:

What 2 mediums came about in the '80's that REVOLUTIONIZED the music business?

Rob, I believe it was the Sony walkman, and CD's, which led to portable cd players.
In turn, it just about sounded the death knoll for cassette tapes.

[Robmeister]

CD's is one of the answers I was after

The walkman may have been one....but there was another one that was probably the HUGEST "medium" to EVER hit the music biz...

[PBurke]

MTV.


i have no questions about the 80's. so i will pass my turn on to someone else.

I'll guess false .... weren't the 90's worse?

[Robmeister]

MTV.

BING, BING, BING, BING.....We have a winner, Johnny!!!

[PBurke]

ok i do have one. WHAT WAS THE FIRST VIDEO THAT EVER AIRED ON MTV?

[Robmeister]

I'll guess false

"False" is correct.....'80's were marked by the HIGHEST interest rates on record.   Mortgage rates were in the teens!!!!!!

weren't the 90's worse?

High interest rates are good and bad.....bad when it comes to mortgages, credit cards, etc........good when it comes to what banking/investment products pay YOU.

The lowest rates on record hit just recently in 2002/2003 (forget which one).
