Growing up in the 1980's wasn't always the easiest thing to do. Terrorism wasn't the ever-present threat (to the average person) that it is now, but we were still mired in a cold war, braced for nuclear attacks, and (too slowly) becoming aware of AIDS. We also, however, had some rockin' music. Not too unexpectedly, a good solid dose of paranoia can be found in many of the 80's songs that crop up on those ever-multiplying 80's music compilations.
