I love the 80's

This American Life brought me this story:

"I don't wanna be a company man. I wanna be an entrepreneur and own my own business because I feel that's the only real way to get rich."

That's Russell, a 19yr old, small town mall T-Mobile kiosk employee. His fiancee is a roller-skating Sonic ("The Ultimate Drink Stop!" she says) waitress. Her name is Chandler. Really.
They have an apartment together, and a new puppy. She won't go to college because she can't afford it and hates debt and he does not believe in college.

No, that was not 20 years ago, that was TWO WEEKS AGO.

By now she is dropping Route 66 size Ocean Waters because she is weak from the morning sickness, and he is staring at Victoria's Secret storefront and contemplating banging the girl from Steak Escape. A year from now they will be living with one of their sets of "estranged" parents, with their new baby 'Trayfe' celebrating his first Christmas wearing Bristol Palin's new line of kids clothes for Wal-Mart.

Or they will move to Nashville, or Memphis, or out of Tennessee altogether and become young urban professionals in New York or L.A. AH! Does it come full circle?

Remember Dennis Hopper in Flashback? "When we get out of the 80's, the 90's are going to make the 60's look like the 50's!" Now we have to go back to the 80's? Gag me with a spoon.
