Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time to get back to the future! In this special edition from the editors of People, we celebrate the year Marty McFly and Doc Brown turned a DeLorean into a time machine. 1985 was the year of The Breakfast Club and St. Elmo's Fire, of Princess Diana's iconic twirl with John Travolta at the White House, and of Live Aid and Farm Aid when the music world came together to do good. On TV we were watching The Golden Girls, Moonlighting (Hello, Bruce Willis!), Dynasty, and Dallas. We look back at Star Tracks and Heart Monitor from 1985 to see what the most memorable celebrities of the day were up to, and who was falling in or out of love, as well as the biggest news of the year. This 96-page photo-filled issue also includes People's Ultimate Pop Culture Quiz: How well do you remember 1985?

In the lavishly illustrated keepsake, youll relive all the highs and woes of a decade that mad Bill Cosby the king of prime-time, the Berlin Wall a pile of rubble, cable TV and the fax machine ubiquitous and two otherworldly characters world famous? Michael Jackson, he of the white glove, and ET, phoning home across the cosmos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 80's: If we remember correctly, they happened somewhere between disco and grunge, after platform shoes but before Friends. President Ronald Reagan sat in the Oval Office; Sixteen Candles and Raiders of the Lost Ark played at the multiplex; and, on the small screen, the invention of MTV meant that image, more than ever, could make a star. This was good news for Madonna, Duran Duran and Boy George and great news for A Flock of Seagulls. PEOPLE Celebrate the 80's takes you on a trip down memory lane with the stars, fads and moments you'll never forget.
Book Synopsis Back to Our Future by : David Sirota
Download or read book Back to Our Future written by David Sirota and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wall Street scandals. Fights over taxes. Racial resentments. A Lakers-Celtics championship. The Karate Kid topping the box-office charts. Bon Jovi touring the country. These words could describe our current moment—or the vaunted iconography of three decades past. In this wide-ranging and wickedly entertaining book, New York Times bestselling journalist David Sirota takes readers on a rollicking DeLorean ride back in time to reveal how so many of our present-day conflicts are rooted in the larger-than-life pop culture of the 1980s—from the “Greed is good” ethos of Gordon Gekko (and Bernie Madoff) to the “Make my day” foreign policy of Ronald Reagan (and George W. Bush) to the “transcendence” of Cliff Huxtable (and Barack Obama). Today’s mindless militarism and hypernarcissism, Sirota argues, first became the norm when an ’80s generation weaned on Rambo one-liners and “Just Do It” exhortations embraced a new religion—with comic books, cartoons, sneaker commercials, videogames, and even children’s toys serving as the key instruments of cultural indoctrination. Meanwhile, in productions such as Back to the Future, Family Ties, and The Big Chill, a campaign was launched to reimagine the 1950s as America’s lost golden age and vilify the 1960s as the source of all our troubles. That 1980s revisionism, Sirota shows, still rages today, with Barack Obama cast as the 60s hippie being assailed by Alex P. Keaton–esque Republicans who long for a return to Eisenhower-era conservatism. “The past is never dead,” William Faulkner wrote. “It’s not even past.” The 1980s—even more so. With the native dexterity only a child of the Atari Age could possess, David Sirota twists and turns this multicolored Rubik’s Cube of a decade, exposing it as a warning for our own troubled present—and possible future.

Book excerpt: Modern technology has brought some new twists and turns to horror. Found footage, cell phone-based viruses, literal ghosts in the machines but maybe it's time for a throwback. It's time for some new tales of slumber party horrors, VCR monsters, and problems that can't be solved with a smart phone. We want tales of unstoppable monsters, sewer-dwelling creatures, looming threats of cold-war chaos. Give us fear under the neon lights of an arcade, people fighting for their lives against the backdrop of a hot city night and a cheesy sax solo. Take us back to a time when latchkey kids had to fend for themselves and the only thing left to stop an unspeakable horror was a plucky band of high school kids. Make it bloody. Make it gnarly. Make it 80s! Featuring over 20 Bram Stoker Award winning and Best Selling Authors such as Joe R. Lansdale, Kasey Lansdale, Weston Ochse, Lisa Morton, Grady Hendrix, Tim Waggoner, Christina Sng, Stephanie M. Wytovich, Jess Landry, Vince Liaguno, F. Paul Wilson, John Skipp, Linda D Addison and many more. "Reading Attack from the '80s brings on a nostalgia tinged with blood. It's like being impaled on a time machine and dragged through sickly houses haunted by serial killers, spooky fairgrounds where kids vanish, woodlands stalked by unnameable beasts ... and it is wonderful. I'm in my teens again, and the horrors are more terrifying than ever." -Tim Lebbon, author of Eden "Attack from the '80s sends us rollicking back into the pop culture madness of that genre, and does it with creeps, fun, and great storytelling from today's top horror writers!" -Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of Ink and Rot & Ruin "Deliriously, deliciously gruesome, Attack from the '80s is a treat for horror fans looking for the hard stuff. An all-star lineup of writers inspired by that gnarliest of decades.

Book Synopsis Living in the Eighties by : Gil Troy
Download or read book Living in the Eighties written by Gil Troy and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-22 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some see the 1980s as a Golden Age, a "Morning in America" when Ronald Reagan revived America's economy, reoriented American politics, and restored Americans' faith in their country and in themselves. Others see the 1980s as a new "Gilded Age," an era that was selfish, superficial, glitzy, greedy, divisive, and destructive. This multifaceted exploration of the 1980s brings together a variety of voices from different political persuasions, generations, and vantage points. The volume features work by Reagan critics and Reagan fans (including one of President Reagan's closest aides, Ed Meese), by historians who think the 1980s were a disastrous time, those who think it was a glorious time, and those who see both the blessings and the curses of the decade. Their essays examine everything from multiculturalism, Southern conservatism, and Reaganomics, to music culture, religion, crime, AIDS, and the city. A complex, thoughtful account of a watershed in our recent history, this volume will engage anyone interested in this pivotal decade.

Book Synopsis Life and Death on the New York Dance Floor, 1980–1983 by : Tim Lawrence
Download or read book Life and Death on the New York Dance Floor, 1980–1983 written by Tim Lawrence and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the 1970s gave way to the 80s, New York's party scene entered a ferociously inventive period characterized by its creativity, intensity, and hybridity. Life and Death on the New York Dance Floor chronicles this tumultuous time, charting the sonic and social eruptions that took place in the city’s subterranean party venues as well as the way they cultivated breakthrough movements in art, performance, video, and film. Interviewing DJs, party hosts, producers, musicians, artists, and dancers, Tim Lawrence illustrates how the relatively discrete post-disco, post-punk, and hip hop scenes became marked by their level of plurality, interaction, and convergence. He also explains how the shifting urban landscape of New York supported the cultural renaissance before gentrification, Reaganomics, corporate intrusion, and the spread of AIDS brought this gritty and protean time and place in American culture to a troubled denouement.
