Well, speaking of 1985, that was the year New Coke came out. I can't believe they're still using "Coke Classic" 20 years later-what, are they hoping for a New Coke comeback? It was also the year that the wreckage of the Titanic was found. When I first saw the footage the thing that came to my mind was a TV movie, "Goliath Awaits," about the discovery of a luxury liner that had been sunk during WW2 and which still had people, the descendents of the original passengers and crew, living on it.

1985 was also the year of those music-lyrics hearings on Capitol Hill, where Dee Snider, John Denver, and Frank Zappa all testified before a committee led by Tipper Gore. Al Gore claimed at the time that he was a fan of Zappa's music. These were the infamous hearings which led to warning lables being placed on albums.
