We here at verbosity have fond memories of
the eighties. It was a decade during which Pop Culture
finally gained itself capital letters. It was a decade
during which people like Madonna could keep the world on
the edge of its seat waiting for her next "look" and
Kevin Bacon could appear in every single movie produced.
Well, some things never change. Anyway, here are some
of the editors' favorite things from the decade that
was.
