Decade - 1980s

Yes, Tom Jones performed in Austin in the 1980s. One notable concert took place in 1989 at the Austin Music Hall. His energetic performances and popularity during that era attracted many fans to his shows.

Punk Rock. Rough rock-&-roll played at high energy, often with rather angry, snarling para-political lyrics, and often an aggressive attachment to low musical ability. Supposedly an antidote to rock having lost its way in the complexities of Progressive Rock; but it could be argued that Punk was so far removed from P.R. that heavy-metal was the more likely reaction. Part of a fashion that included strange clothes and unpleasant behaviour; hijacked commercially by Malcolm MacLaren.

Heavy Rock. Goes back to the 1960s but still retains and attracts anew, a large, faithful following. Various styles ranging from quite melodic to wall-of-sound "thrash" with no pretence to be anything at all subtle.

New Wave. Rather fey, heavily synthesised pop that tried to be a lyrical and melodic reaction to Punk. It did at least try to show genuine ability to play or sing; and though some succeeded, much of it ended up as bland, soul-less crotchet-counting.

New R-'n'-B. A marketing name. Not to be confused with Rhythm and Blues, which is hard-edged, 12-bar blues-based rock. Characterised by very formulaic synthentic, sampled or session-musician backings of celebrity solo singers, many of them female, of dubious talent; and manufactured with a purely ommercial end in view.

Drum-&-Bass and similar. Purely dance beats, mostly synthetic and sampled, little or no lyrical content, melody or rhythm; with no pretence or intention of anything more than something to dance to.

Also don't forget that a huge amount of much deeper music of all styles including orchestral symphonies, choral and opera, is still being written.

Sorry, no , it's not me apologising, the answer is Sorry.

If you include pitchers (you should; however, someold-timers would disagree), the best player in the 1960s was Sandy Koufax. No other single player dominated the way Koufax did until an arthritic elbow forced him to retire after the 1966 season. He won 3 Cy Youngs, won 25+ games three times (and was on track to do that in two other seasons until injuries shortened them). He led the National League in ERA 5 straight years and led the league in strikeouts 3 times, including a league record 382 in 1965. That's what I call domination.

Not sure who you mean by "they",but the 80's where when synthesizers got really prominent, so lots of electric keyboards. Around 1981 the YAMAHA DX-7 synth became THE instrument to use, and it was monster! It was everywhere.

Rizal married Josephine Bracken who is recorded as his wife. Rizal is one of the most famous heroes in the Philippines history who led to their independence.

Walter Mondale was the Vice President under President Jimmy Carter from 1977-1981, George Bush was Vice President under President Ronald Reagan from 1981-1989, and Dan Quayle was Vice President under President George Bush from 1989-1993.

If you're asking who the BEST Steelers of the 80s, you'd start with names like Lipps and Dawson and Merriweather. I'd throw in a little love to Bubby Brister, who did do some cool stuff. The best player, though, as usual, is a relatively unknown defensive player that does some thankless job as hard as he could - I'd say Gary Dunn, their defensive tackle.

The U.S. had a very weak image ,internationally, due to Jimmy Carters failed attack in the middle east. OPEC members were cutting production which caused the oil wars worldwide.Then Ronald Regan was elected and tore up the middle east which gave us back our standing as super powers.the oil wars were stopped by two gentlemen.one from New York who came up with the solution and one from Ecuador who made it happen.

The Eureka Stockade gained the attention of the Government. A Commission of Enquiry was conducted and changes were implemented. These included abolition of monthly gold licences, replaced by an affordable annual miner's licence. The numbers of troopers were reduced significantly, and Legislative Council was expanded to allow representation to the major goldfields. Peter Lalor and another representative, John Basson Humffray, were elected for Ballarat. Later, Lalor was elected Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Victoria. For these reasons, the Eureka Stockade is regarded by many as the birthplace of Australian Democracy.

To meet demand, crude oil and petroleum products were imported at the all-time high rate of 10.4 million barrels per day in 1998, while exports measured 0.9 million barrels per day.

the main purpose of the freedmens bureau was to provide education for the newly freed slaves but also gave out food, clothes and shelter.

I seem to recall a figure of just over 3 million unemployed being generally accepted as accurate at the time but some classes of people who were not working such as the disabled were not always counted even though they may have been able to work and indeed may have wanted to. Were they unemployed?

It is now a recognised fact however that during the 1980's, the unemployment figures were manipulated for political purposes with quite a lot of being advised to opt for incapacity benefit if they had been ill for a while which had the desired effect of removing them from the unemployment figures. The result of this is coming home to roost in the year 2012 as there are around half a million people being targeted as not really disabled and being fit for work. The fact that this is being done by the same political party that put people there in the first place is to say the least, a bit ironic!

leftist dissent/activism/guerrilla warfare that posed a threat to the stability of the peronist (and eventually militarized) state; extreme right-wing counterrevolutionary aggression (oh, you know, kidnapping, torturing and dumping the possibly dead bodies of suspected insurgents into the sea)...just go from there.

Greece joined what was then known as the European Economic Community in 1981. It is now called the European Union.

Harriet Tubman. :D

In January, 1986 the space shuttle Challenger launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida and exploded 73 seconds after liftoff killing all seven astronauts on board. Christa McAuliffe, a teacher who had been chosen to be the first "citizen" in space was on board.

they listened to pop, rap and alternative music

so that they can change it when ever they want.
