I finished reading an article called 80 Totally Awesome Facts About the ‘80s. Now that’s why I call a heck of a lot of facts. It mentions quite a few facts the most of us already knew like you need strength to carry a boombox but many that I didn’t. Some of those are that Richard Page almost joined Toto and Slash almost joined Poison. Fraggle Rock was HBO’s first series. A 3 year old inspired Polaroid and that Prince wrote Manic Monday. That one I already knew. Check out the facts by visiting the link below.

I knew a few of the facts listed on the website but not at all. Thank you for sharing this Mr. 80s. Facts that I did not know. The last names of Jem (a.k.a. Jerrica Benton) and the Holograms were the names of real scientists who worked on hologram technology.
