Let's kick it off with Hawkins in the mix right here on Tim Hop Center.

SPEAKER_27

You will definitely relate to these 1980s memories.

SPEAKER_29

You also kept yourself busy by making mixtapes and binge watching rented movies from Blockbuster. If this sounds like your childhood, then you will definitely relate to these 1980s memories. Do you remember middle and high schoolers began tie rolling their jeans, growing out their mullet, and teasing their bangs to the sky with a can of Aqua Net hairspray? Friday nights were for many a blockbuster night. Stepping into that brightly lit blockbuster store, it wasn't uncommon to leave with a stack of movies that would last you all weekend. You tried your best to make it on the leaderboard whenever you played Pac-Man, Space Invaders, or Donkey Kong. Growing up in the 80s, MTV was an important part of the pop culture of this time. In those days, they actually played music videos.

A famous writer in the 90s. Anyone who's ever gone And opened up a closing door. Just if we were never feeling bored. Well I went, I left from the stage with a hammer stack. Someone said, If you're not careful, you'll have nothing left, and nothing to care for in the night. When I step back and looking forward, my issues were high, and I had thought. I pointed through a closing door, and I would never find myself feeling bored. I want to hold in that fresh one. All the people I was kissing. Some are here and some are missing at the 19 I never dreamt that I would get to be that I always get to be.

Ho visto tante città meravigliose, ma in nessuna sono stato bene come a Firenze. Mi sono ubriacato alla grande a Bordeaux, ma bere a Firenze è tutta un'altra cosa. Avevo una amante bellissima a Londra, ma il miglior sess solo ho fatto a Firenze. Festeggiavo notte e giorno a Berlino, ma non è come festeggiare a Firenze. Una volta a Varsavia mi sono sfallato alla grande, ma non era niente in confronto a volare a Firenze. Vorrei tanto rivedere Parigi un giorno, ma mi manca sempre, Firenze. I gelati non sono male a Vienna, ma non c'è gelato migliore di quello di Firenze.
