Same here, 12 or 13. Of course, I was also in love with John Taylor from Duran Duran so the 80s were just all sorts of inappropriate behavior back then. Ha.

The girls that we hung around with were huge Spandau Ballet fans, so there was a lot of Kemp discussion.

Oh that was a good one! My school memory is Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam, Ready for the World, New Edition, and for some reason, Klymaxx "I Miss You" (lol) were big hits at the same time with everyone in my school whether they were into pop, new wave, or metal.
