Wake, Eat, and Sleep In

Jay's Day:  80's Music

Welcome back to the 80's!

The decade saw the rise of Micheal Jackson, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Duran Duran, Bon Jovi and a host of other rock legends thanks to a certain upstart music video television station called MTV.

In fact, the TV machine proved to be a major force behind 1980's fashion trends, including black and white lace for the girls (Madonna) or pastel colored jackets, with sleeves rolled up to the elbow for the guys (Duran Duran, Miami Vice).

When getting served a drink in the 80's you might get a drink such as "Like a Virgin Bloody Mary"and be dancing on the ceiling.  Also don't forget 80's-era wine coolers, or the No. 1 80's bar scene cocktail, Sex on the Beach!

If you like guitar rifts, loud drums, concerts, and long hair you probably would like the 80's genre, Heavy Metal.  Born from this genre were groups such as Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Guns N Roses, and the list goes on and on.  Enjoy your time here!
