"How eager they are to be slaves." - Emperor Tiberius about the Roman Senate (supposedly)
“History doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes.” - Mark Twain (supposedly)
This was the last decade for this, really. It sort of limped along with, I don’t know, people like Pauly Shore? into the early 90s but dried up pretty quickly. It’s too bad! It was fun.
the 80s had a high density of celebrities whose authenticity was hard to figure out, as a kid. like, was Mr. T a real guy? he was like that in shows/movies but also in interviews? or pee wee, elvira, max headroom, various wrestlers. even alf was on celebrity squares. it was a confusing time.
