80’s Flash Back: Too Turned On

Here is an Electro/Hip Hop/Break-dance/Club track from 1985, during the height of America’s gold age (1945-2000). This track by Alisha was extremely popular in NY, Miami, Chicago, Latin America and Europe. I remember the song fondly as it was from the summer of 1985. America was booming economically and people had hope for a better tomorrow. Our last great President, Ronald Reagan was re-elected the year before and people were making money.

Since the American dark ages began on 9/11/2001, I look fondly on things before that time. It’s just a shame that most of my life will be spent seeing the decline of America, but I can tell future generations, we once were great and there was hope for a better tomorrow.

This video by Michael McDonald was from the movie Running Scared. I was 11 when this video came out in the summer of 1986 and I have fond memories of that summer. New Wave Club and Electro was still dominant in New York City. House Music and Hop Hop were beginning their rise on the streets. This song was a jam everyone liked. From the B-Boys in the parks, to the Yuppies on Wall Street partying in Manhattan. I feel this song encapsulates a happy time in America. Our last great President Ronald Reagan was in charge and our economy was really booming. I feel I will never experience good times like this again and neither will this nation, despite the media’s lies of an Obama Boom.

The video like the movie was filmed on Key West (calling Natasha). Enjoy and remember the good times of America’s golden age (1945-2000).
