Ok, for school, we have a project due thursday, and i have created a video convering the major events of the 80's. I have already used, Thriller, Give peace a chance (might not be from the 80's?? but it has to do with the assassination of J.L.) and Video killed the radio star, going along with Cable television, and MTV

I need songs from the 80's that focus on..

Blacks/drugs/cocain

Challenger disaster

and

The computer boom?

Thanks for the help.

"We Didn't Start The Fire" - Billy Joel

Covers just about everything you need. The Stormfront album was originally released in 1989.

And you are a flaming, knee-jerk liberal from the People's Republic of California on the Left Coast. Lookie, I can stereotype too.

Hey, i aint a racist, its just that back in the 80's is when drug use, and inner city youths mixed, and crack cocaine/cocaine became popular ways for inner city get rich quick schemes.

in my school there are like 50 african americans, and i am friends with them

We have the Chagrin falls park which is an african american community which go to our school (chagrin schools didnt want um, so Kenston ended up with them)

No, i refuse to change that, as that is what it needs to cover, or atleast one of them, since they all are in the same spot in my video

The song was from 1969 and it's called Space Oddity.
