The 80’s!
Ahh…my favorite decade! Remember the horrible haircuts (I had one resembling Joan Jett’s), the stone-washed jeans, the bad tv? For all the ills of the decade, I maintain it had the best music. Here’s what would have been on my IPOD (had that been invented back then): Squeeze, the English Beat, Joe Jackson, Elvis Costello, the Ramones, the Sex Pistols, the Go-Gos! And of course, who can forget Shrapnel? You can, you say? What’s Shrapnel, you ask? My all-time favorite 80s band. I followed them to the ends of the earth — or at least CBGBs. Yeah, that teeny-bopper in the hot pink lipstick and leopard print shirt, dancing in the front row of the mosh pit, yeah, that was me. Now tell me your favorite 80’s memories and feel free to send pictures! (just click the “Hit us with Your Best Shot” box in the upper right corner to do so). Can’t wait to see them. As for my photos, you’ll have to tune in at 6am tomorrow to see some. (and tomorrow I’ll put some here too!)
Happy July to Alisyn!
It is good to see you back on the job this morning!!!!!!!!!!
Wesley Clark let his ego overload his a$$. I listened to his Sunday fubar a couple of times and it was clear to me that he was trying to sell himself as the guy that would be more than happy to drop a bomb.
The 80’s thing is fun this week and brings back a bunch of memories. I found a few pictures of the long haired me back in those days. My hair was all one color too! lol Where do I send them?
Can’t wait to see the pics! Just click on that box in the top right corner of your screen that says “Hit Us with Your Best Shot”.
Morning Ali, you look absolutely Gorgeous this morning….I am absolutely speechless…I am new to this whole blogging thing…I am a long time fan of the show and you brighten my day evey morning!
Thank you Jay. Nice to have you with us.
good morning alisyn
audra did a wonderful job with the blog yesterday she interacted with the bloggers quite nicely
the 80s thing brings back lots of memories was defiinitely a very diffferent time
have a wonderful day and we are so glad you are back
Audra was great! She got tons of comments too!
good morning marshall
I cannot wait see those pictures Alisyn I bet there was quite a few Fox News refused to let you show on the air. I spent the eighties…in Law Enforcement trying to keep little cuties like you out of trouble. Believe me no one was more bland than me in the eighties. Never was trendy…never will be. I would have love to have seen you operate in those days and no you would not have gotten by me plenty tried and failed.
I’m sure you were a credit to your profession pogger, though a few law enforcement agents did let me slip through their supervision.
Mornin’ Pat!
Audra really did do a good job with the blog and we learned a lot about her career plans.
marshall jimmy and lori are in the other place if you are interested
Um, Pat? Are you using the Greenroom blog to drive traffic away?
Good Morning Al, missed you Monday & can not wait to see your 80’s pics. I would share mine but it seems all my 80’s pics are of my former wife, she looks like Olivia Newton John from the movie “Perfect”, she was an aerobics instructor.
That’s one hot ex-wife!
Speechless, absolutely speechless!
Good Morning Alisyn
I love the 80’s, the music was great, I had long black hair past my shoulders,
well business-like in front and long in the back, I will find a picture and send it,
now its short, but Im going to let it grow longer in the back, just a little longer,
and Good Morning everyone.
Sal
what a news update ….i know it didnt bring me back to the 80’s, beauty was just not in the hair back then
Good morning Alisyn.
I am a product of the 80’s myself and I think it was the best time. The music was awsome and I too liked many of the bands you addressed. Mainly I think the guys in most of the bands back then were alot better looking than most today. I loved the hair, lots of hair and the tight pants they would wear. Aaaahhh!!! I can go on forever about that. We would go to concerts quite often and on the way home we would blast the music. Those were the days.
We were probably at some of the same concerts!
morning Alisyn and Audra…..glad to have you back Alisyn….youu did a great job Audra!
Thanks Jimmy
Pat I have to get ready and hit the road. Will catch up with yooz guyz later!
So, nice to have Alisyn back on the blog with us today and I can’t wait to see her 80’s pictures tomorrow! lol
Thanks Marshall!
Good morning and welcome back. I loved and still do Bon Jovi. Jon really knows how to seduce the audience and has just gotten better with time. Glad he got rid of the big hairl
chas says hi and is happy you are back. He will not have internet access until later this AM. But that decade is NOT his favortie with music. So I save my 80’s stuff for my Ipod or when he is not home…lol. Nothing beats the Beatles for him.
I agree — Bon Jovi just keeps getting better. We need to reprogram Chas.
that was Jamie Lee Curtis in Pefect
80s music was great…loved the first half of the 80s…..but not the last part…getting an ugly divorce!
Alysin, Thanx its great to be with you. The 80’s cant be forgotten about in the movie genre…like “Valley Girl”…”back to the future”…”Fletch”…”Caddyshack”…there is absolutely nothing like the movies in this era!
E.T.,,,Raiders of the Lost Ark, etc…great films!
alisyn
i could never drive traffic away from here all of us your loyal bloggers just think you are extra special and fill the room with sunshine when you walk in but a bunch of us clubbies that filled up the blog one memorable weekend just have a spot where we can chat and not cause anyone here any discomfort
and you know marshall your number one fan would NEVER leave your blog
sorry if you thought i would even dream of that LOL we enjoy you waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much
You’re so sweet Pat! I’m just teasing. I know how loyal you guys are and I’m grateful.
I remember watching the entire broadcast of Live Aid…went to see ‘Til Tuesday and Hall and Oates in concert. The 80’s had so many different styles of music, there was something for everyone. And to the great relief of many, NO MORE DISCO!!
Aimee Mann was/is great!
You will never see movies again Jimmy that were as good as what we got in the 80’s…it seems it has set a bar that is still trying to be matched today with all the remakes!
Three words for the 80’s…….ACID-WASHED JEANS!!!!!!!!!
ALISYN,
I think you’re a fan of Jon Bon Jovi….band is giving a free concert in Central Park on July 12th.
I saw that. I’m tempted to go — along with 1 million of my closest friend.
Beverly Hills Cop…Trading Places….
Ali…I gotta say newscaters from the 80’s and 90’s…the way they looked on the air compared to now….it is completely amazing the difference with wardrobe and everything else…why are all newscasters a lil more risque’ today?
I don’t know about more risque, as you say, but i know we have better hair than the anchor helmet favored in the 80s.
Hey Jimmy ‘Beverly Hills Cop” was the 1st CD I ever owned!
National lampoons Vacation…..Karate Kid(LOLOLOL)
turn up the AC… Alisunshine is here!! Tomorrow when we see you with your Joan Jett do. Can you sing the song you showed a clip of her singing today? ” I LOVE FOX AND FRIENDS, PUT A LITTLE NEWS IN YOUR MORNING BABY, I LOVE FOX AND FRIENDS, JUST A LITTLE NEWS AND WATCH WITH ME!” I hope yours and everybodys day goes well.
Love it!
Reagan Administration, downfall of the Soviet Union, no Barack Obama
Good Morning Alisyn:
Glad to have you back, you look hot today….:-)
You look good in that outfit.
Have a great day.
Thanks Cowboy.
What epitomizes the 1980’s? Ronald Reagan. Best movie? Raging Bull.
Hey! Hey! Alisyn!
While no one is watching whisper the name that got bleeped on Red Eye the other night. We won’t tell anyone.

Morning fellow bloggers.
Alisyn, great to have you back on the show.
We need Ronald Reagan back in the White House! I love the commercials talking about freedom. Can’t remember the website. But, we need someone that makes us feel good about being Americans again.
I wish Alisyn would comment to more than the first 20 entries. Can’t ever seem to get here fast enough
Am I whining too loudly?
Yeah, you kinda are.
Maybe we should introduce the VETS guy that likes to shout to Suzy???
VETS TAKE YOUR VITRIOL ELSEWHERE THIS IS A QUIET PLACE WE WILL JUST IGNORE YOU AND HOPE YOU GO AWAY ON YOUR OWN
ssounds like a match to me JT…lol
how about the shows of the 80’s
Dallas, Dynasty, Falcon Crest, Knots Landing, Hill Street Blues….The Dukes of Hazzard….lol
Miami Vice!!!
MIAMI VICE!!!….YES!!!!
been fun…got to go folks…
Alisyn,
What’s your favorite TV show during the 80’s? Mine was without question Cheers.
Hmmm…let me ponder that. I liked Cheers and Family Ties, Growing Pains (I liked that smart aleck youngest broter). I need to refresh my memory of the sitcoms that were on.
Dallas…Dukes of Hazard…A-team..Hulk…Chips…Dynasty…Cosby…Facts of life…Growing Pains…Cheers…greatest decade ever
AL, I just wanted to ask all F&F fans to keep Mike Gallagher in their prayers.
Denise, his wife lost her hard fought battle with cancer yesterday.
Taylor, Thank you for telling us.
Ali,
Get your mom to send you one of those teenage pictures of you heading off to the concert and upload it. You know we all want to see it.
Scott
Alisyn a question for you why did newswoman from the 80’s and 90’s wear pantyhose and the ladies of this era donot?…what makes a woman decide to wear them on TV and when not to?…I Know you do sometimes and more than most…Is is not part of the professionalism the we call America or is it that times have changed
Do you really like pantyhose that much Jay? wait, don’t answer that.
Are those 80’s photos on the website someplace? Will they be? I listen while at work on XM radio and cannot see them, but the reactions are making me want to see them.
Good Morning Alisyn,
Nice to have you back this morning. Patti Ann did great filling in for you yesterday but you were missed also.
Alisyn, please tell the ASS people to get their acts together so it isn’t screwed up today and the rest of the week!
Yesterday’s the audio never was on and then it was turned off early part way thru Colin Hay’s performance. It was so screwed up they apparantly didn’t have anything to even post to watch later.
It is frustrating for the fans and disrespectful to the guests that stick around to be on the ASS.
This constant screwing up of the ASS wouldn’t be accepted if it were a segment of the TV show, so why are the powers allowing it to happen to the ASS?
Looking forward to your 80s pics and memories tomorrow morning!
alisyn nothin like the 80’s
Good morning Ms. Alisyn,
It is nice to have you back. And though it has been pointed out already Ms. Audra did do a wonderful job filling in yesterday. She actually became quite chatty.
It was nice spending some time with her.
Eileen pretty much hit the 80’s nail on the head for me. Except fo Reagan there wasn’t much I liked about the 80’s. Not the Music escpecially. So no to reprogramming me…lol
Let’s see, if memory serves the Star Trek Movies started coming in the 80’s, so that was a good thing.
In any event, nice to have you back Ms. Alisyn, even if it is only 3 days this week. I hope you and Ms. Audra have a wonderful day.
chas
You too Chas.
Hey Allisyn, While I was very young in the 80’s my favorite memories are converse high tops (mine were red) and parachute pants (also red) and my Lionel Rchie tape!! “You are the Sun you are the rain…that makes my life this foolish game…..” It doesn’t get much better than that!!
Oh, and to Jay Ryan, respectfully, …have you ever worn pantyhose…if not, try it and you’ll see why NO ONE wears them anymore!!
Did Gretchen show her 80’s pics yesterday? Missed that one. I guess the googled ones of her pageant days will have to do.
The Smurfs. B A Barracus. Tom Wopat as Luke Duke. Those Daisy Dukes - now a fine fashion statement. Mrs. Seaver..(NICE!). The 80’s rocked because TV was much more limited than it is today. We have way too many options and way to many fan clubs.
Star Trek…sorry we left thast off the list
Marshall,
This is what Alisyn said on Red Eye that was bleeped:

Alisyn I was only asking a question?…Do I like Pantyhose that much…U dont want an answer…I was just being an observant news watcher who has noticed this trend thru the years…Im sure u r assuming it is for some other reason(LOLOLOL)…HMMM what could that be?
GM, Alisyn Good to have you back
Got a question, any one remember the most stupidest movie of the 80’s??
What was it?
bye sal
good morning chas
Vets, or is it Suzy? Either way that got old yesterday. Today it’s just plain annoying.
Yesterday it was poor taste, now it’s become bad manners.
Go away little person before someone drops a house on you.
chas
Hi Alisyn
I’m speaking for those of us who listen to your show on XM, and never get to see what you are talking about. I really want to see the Mullet!!!!
Would you work on that?
Thanks!!!
The best thing about music in the eighties was that all of the oldies stations were playing 50’s and 60’s music. Even though us old farts are dying out you can still hear that music on the radio.
