This Week in 80’s History!

It’s time to take a look back at This Week in 80’s History! It was this week in the 1980’s that:

1981 – “Jessie’s Girl” by Rick Springfield was the #1 song in America

1983 – Tom Cruise slid into the spotlight as Risky Business premiered in theaters. In order to look younger for the roll, Tom Cruise worked out 7 days a week to lose 10 lbs, to then only eat fatty foods to gain a layer of “baby fat”.

1984 – Carl Lewis would win his 1st of 4 Gold Medals at the 1984 Summer Olympics.

1986 – One Crazy Summer, starring:  John Cusack, Demi Moore, Bobcat Goldthwait, and the lesser know Murray brother, Joel Murray. This movie would make my top 5 comedies from the decade one of my absolute favorites and really underrated in my opinion.
