1984這一年你在做什麼?
也許我必須用一點什麼喚醒你對這一年的記憶, 好比說Phil Collins 的這首歌Take A Look At Me Now；或者Stevie Wonder 的 I Just Called To Say I Love You. 對於當時的美國流行音樂並不熟悉的人，或許更好的方法是放一首李恕權的 “迴” 或 “每次都想呼喊你的名字”。也許像我老爸就完全不記得1984到底是個什麼年頭，但是江蕙「惜別的海岸」或費玉清「一剪梅」一定可以讓他想起一點什麼。
我就記得當時許多同學在看天龍八部，在唱「兩忘煙水裡」。
1984 年夏天，我參加高中聯考，從竹北國中進入新竹高中。
當時我很迷美國的流行音樂排行，每周在聯合報影視綜藝版都會有一小格的告示牌排行(Billboard Top10)，我剪貼了大概近兩年，再加上剪貼了當時偶爾出現的英美歌手消息，兩年下來也是厚厚一本。
我沒有看天龍八部，因為聯考而放棄了許多的娛樂，包括「星星知我心」這麼紅的連續劇，都強忍著不看。但是每天我會犒賞自己一個小時聽余光在警廣的「青春之歌」，隨口跟著哼哼告示排行的歌，我記得他每周五放告示排行Top20，每周四是oldies but goodies放老歌。
因為搬家，那本西洋流行音樂的剪貼簿與老家的瓦礫一起長埋地底了。
高中、大學、失戀、服兵役、職場鬼混、做一個不太稱職的丈夫及爸爸….我幾乎忘記了1984這一年。
下面這一百首歌，不知道你還記得幾首，對我而言，這些歌都是我記憶中的1984，等六月底工作停了之後，我一定會把這一百首歌都找出來聽聽。然後，也許順手寫些1984的點點滴滴。那是段讓人很懷念的日子，好多好多事可以寫。

因為搜尋dennis deyoung的Desert moon而看到這blog。我應該稱呼你為學長,因為我也是竹北人，和相同的中學和國中畢業。
相逢自是有緣,感恩.
1984年,我才剛升上竹仁國小二年級
但你所提到的"一剪梅"和"兩忘煙水裡"
赫~~我居然也是知道的
遙想當年時光
還是有很多感動的
同鄉您好,
看了您的網誌, 感謝分享!

wow, how odd and curious it is to see that all those years ago, kids of my age in Taiwan (and other places politically tied to the US) were hearing the same songs as myself. this is the story of empire, is it not? and how much more amazing that 23 years later, i am also familiar with places such as Hsinchu and Chubei. is the world getting smaller? i am not sure -- perhaps it is getting bigger.
as a political person, i am usually inclined to look on the 80s as a disasterous decade, (the time of Reagan) the beginning of a conservative, selfish period for america. but you remind me that for kids then, there was happiness in the music. i cannot deny that.
Hi Rabert,
The most stunning is that maybe I am going to work in US after October. Maybe I'll walk on the pavement which you walked for thousands of times.
I remember the US presidential campaign of Reagan vs Carter in 1980.
I was an elementary school boy then. I asked one of my classmate: 'Which one you prefer to be the next President of US?'
'Reagan'
Both of us agree on this.
Why?
Why two Taiwanese kids had the same opinion toward the US presidential campaign?
Now you must understand how we are raised by the ex-ruling party, KMT.
