A flashback to the 80′s sounds like fun to me. I’m not sure you can ever explain Airplane – either you laugh or you don’t! Adding this to my wish list.

softdrink – Oh Rio Rio dance across the Rio Grande …

Kathy – Sheffields story is a fun one (mostly!)

Beth – My kids call this ‘oldies music’

Steph – definitely on my list to read; I was concerned that it might be very sad, but you’ve convinced me that he focuses on more upbeat times

Natalie – quick, fun, and very much a flashback for me

Sheila – sounds like TALKING TO GIRLS would be a good fit for you

Trisha – born in 1980? I am. officially. OLD.

Kathleen – yes, we’re in the same time bracket (but I think others outside the decade would enjoy it, too!)

Kim – I’ve got a lot of feedback about LOVE IS A MIX TAPE; has been added to my wish list

Julie – others have said that the writing style is very similar to his first memoir, so it seems like you’d like it …

erisian – there’s not a “whatever happened to …” photo in the book

Serena – the right decade and the right city for me; I thought it was fantastic!

Jenners – I’ll be reading that soon(ish)!

I have his “Love Is A Mix Tape” sitting on my bookshelf just waiting to be read.

Wow, would this memoir bring back memories for us children of the 80s. Hilarious…thanks for the review.

so it is like VH1′s “I love the 80′s” with out having to see the individual pop icons depreciated with failing colons and bald heads?

I AM DOWN FOR IT!!

I was born in ’81 and even though I was young, I definitely felt like I was a part of the ’80′s. I read Sheffield’s first book, actually listened to it, and loved it. I’m sure this is one I will enjoy too. Thanks for the review!

This sounds like such a fun book. I wasn’t really sentient in the ’80s, but I bet it would be good anyway. I’m looking forward to reading his first book, too.

I graduated high school in 1981 and college in 1986 so this one would be right up my alley!

I was a bit young in the 80s…actually born in 1980 but I still remember the decade fondly. This sounds like a fun read.

I have wondered about this book….I am an 80′s kid and love to remember the movies – the music, the clothes – LOL
