          1988

          Rain Man was the biggest movie.

          Megaman 2 was the game of the year.

          One More Try by George Michael was the #1 song that year, though I know for a fact Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley was #1 song my birth day.
          Hey, you were born in the best year, too.

          This isn't on there, but I also know from my birth date, Robert Heinlein died 2 days later.

          ...Well, that was depressing.

                    Ech. One of those "pop up a window begging you to stay when you try to close it" sites. Not playing.

                    In 1980 a bunch of shit happened. That's good enough for me.
