This is going to be hard to hear, but:

Bryan Adams released "Summer of '69" in 1985. A similar nostalgia-based song released now would be harkening back to the distant and bygone year of 2010.

@jsr Happy Days first aired in 1974 and depicted life in 1955.

If it were made in 2026, it would be set in 2007.

I'm not sure I'm ready to feel nostalgic about the Great Recession with the housing market collapse, surge of the Iraq war, George Bush, pushing $100/barrel oil, VA Tech shooting, etc.

Maybe I could get nostalgic about Spiderman 3 getting record sales on opening day and the first iPhone being released? Probably not.

@strog @ra6bit @jsr look, it wasn't all that bad, for instance I had more hair and less fat, so, seems like a fair trade
