A tragic day for all. Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged "The Duke [win] was nice; this one is nicer.

To think all he got for it was some free drinks that he probably would have gotten anyway. Of course no current student was actually old enough to remember any of the 80s, but the memory lives on. « Last Edit: May 14, 2009, 8:37am by Jack » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged Be more constructive with your feedback... please.

I know the student DJ who does 80's night is a senior so will probably be gone, but that shouldn't stop them.

Wear your favorite ZCavs or Hammer pants, or your old flannels. Of course, I was IN college for the second half of the 90s, so 90s nights at the Tombs basically means "night at the Tombs" to me.

A friend once observed that 80s music isn't really any better than any other kind of music, but it reminds us of a better time, a happy time, a time when Reagan was our president and America was great. 90s music can never produce the same kind of nostalgia because it only reminds us of the bleak depression that was the Clinton decade, the decade of flannel and DMB and mullets, alas!

There shall never be 80's songs played at the Tombs ever again! If last night was really the last one they sure ended it appropriately: with Taylor Swift, Elton John and Frank Sinatra.

They were all the rage back in the 70's. Which means we should see them again in the 2010's, when the 90's will make a comeback, which was when the 70's made a comeback.

I would imagine the DJs for most nights are seniors -- I know country night is and that's being passed along to a '10 friend of mine. Maybe someone who wanted to DJ another genre (is 80s a genre?) came along and suggested this but I don't know why they wouldn't look for someone new to do 80s night considering the popularity.

However, if they are going to eliminate 80s night based on that logic, shouldn't they have to wait 2 more years until the frosh class can actually enter tombs past 10?

I mean this years senior class was born in 87 most of the 80's music was made before we were born. We still love it because it gets played at college parties all the time. And i feel like that love got passed on to underclassmen as well.
