BeenHereBefore 1,471 Posted December 7, 2023 The date is December 7, 1985, and it's a Saturday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Sagittarius. People are currently enjoying their weekend. The Christmas season of 1985 has begun. In America, the song "Broken Wings" by Mr. Mister is at the top of the singles charts, while "I'm Your Man" by Wham is the number-one song in the UK. Ronald Reagan is the President of the United States, and the movie King Solomon's Mines is at the top of the box office. Margaret Thatcher is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Trapper John, M.D.", "Magnum, P.I.", "Kate & Allie", and "The Equalizer". In fashion, women are wearing long sweaters, fishnet stockings, fingerless gloves, jumpsuits, over-sized scarves, miniskirts, stirrup pants, and spandex cycling shorts. Meanwhile, men are wearing Hawaiian shirts, flannel, shell suits, and wool sport coats. Because it's 1985, the radio stations are being dominated by the likes of Tears For Fears, USA For Africa, A-ha, Foreigner, Madonna, Wham! and Phil Collins. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Ian Stewart, Paul Castellano, Phil Lynott, and Christa McAuliffe would all still be alive.
