BeenHereBefore 1,517 Posted September 14, 2023 The date is September 14th, 1981, and it's a Monday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Virgo. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much. Schools and colleges are starting again, and fall has officially arrived. As a result, temperatures are beginning to cool, and trees are starting to shed their leaves. In the United States, Labor Day of 1981 has recently come and passed. To many, this means that the summer is officially over. In America, the song Endless Love by Diana Ross & Lionel Richie is at the top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, Prince Charming by Adam & Ants is the number-one hit song. Ronald Reagan is the President of the United States, and the movie Arthur is at the top of the box office. Margaret Thatcher is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. In fashion, women are wearing jelly shoes, turtleneck sweaters, loose high-waist pants, crop tops, and puffer jackets lined with fur. Meanwhile, men have been ditching the disco look of the 1970s in favor of athletic clothing such as tracksuits and sports jerseys. The "preppy" look has also been making a comeback. Because it's 1981, the radio stations are being dominated by artists such as Kim Carnes, Soft Cell, Phil Collins, John Lennon, Stars On 45, Diana Ross and Olivia Newton-John. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Bill Shankly, William Holden, Natalie Wood, and John Belushi would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "The Two Ronnies", "Happy Days", "Little House on the Prairie", and "Taxi". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Space Invaders", "Lunar Lander", "Pac-Man", and "Donkey Kong". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Captain Kangaroo", "Happy Days", "Diff'rent Strokes", and "Cockleshell Bay". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
