I wonder...

[acroyear]

...why only the kids from the 60s could get away with memorializing their teenage summers in rock music 15-20 years later.

• '65 Love Affair (Paul Davis)
• Boys of Summer (Don Henley)
• Summer of '69 (Bryan Adams)
• Suddenly Last Summer (The Motels)

So where are the same summer memories in music for those in my generation who grew up in the 80s? 

or were we too busy playing video games to get around to having memories worth romanticizing like that?

Bryan Adams was ten in 1969. He says he used that year because it made the meter better when writing the song.
