someone on flickr posted this pic of new waver lehman college kids in 1986. i think it's pretty amazing -- could be a photo shoot for any quasi-pretentious jangle-preppy band from that era.

1986 was the year of the statue of liberty's centennial, and i believe that was also the year of its re-unveiling after cleaning all the grime off it.

The first thing 1986 always brings to my mind is 1986 Topps Baseball Cards. They had such a distinct look. Not black and white though.

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Monday, 25 September 2006 13:18 (twenty years ago)

1985 Topps design sonned 1986 many times over

ten years pass...

You won't believe this 1986, but in 30 years Donald Trump will be president and he'll be sued by a porn star while being investigated and probably impeached for conspiring with Russia to manipulate his election. And Bill Cosby will be going to jail for rape. Apple is the largest company in history. Bruce Jenner is a woman. There are only 8 planets. Yeah, really! It's a wacky world here in the future.
