Pop Culture Guilty Pleasure:
Without question my guilty pleasure is 80s POP music. Man, in my opinion some of the best music was made in the 80s. Not only the music but the styles of the 80s were hilarious. I can remember the first time I heard 'Human' by Human League. I was only about six or seven riding in my moms car and I can remember from the moment I heard that song, I loved that song, it was almost like a lullaby. I think my love for music came from listening to 80s music. Janet Jackson 'Control', Michael Jackson 'Thriller', Phil Collins/Genesis, Billy Ocean, Bobby Brown, New Edition etc. Also the movies of the 80s were awesome, Hahaha. Conan the Destroyer, Teen Wolf, Gremlins, The Golden Child, The Last Dragon...I could go on for days.
