2023 Update: I launched this blog in 2013 to look back on what I considered to be a significant year. Where applicable I will add updates to the posts and I may even add new posts on the events on 1983.

Hello, welcome to my blog looking back on some of the events that shaped my 1983!
It was 30 years ago that yours truly came of age, and the 30 years since
then have gone by a lot faster than the 18 that came before! I often
felt that 1983 was a significant year, for lots of reasons, especially
as the world seemed to be changing before my eyes. Perhaps that was just
from the viewpoint of a callow youth who had just been given the vote
and was actually allowed into a pub for the first time (!)
The purpose of this blog is to look back at some significant events, be
they musical, cultural or even political, which took place 30 years ago.
I won't necessarily coincide the posts with the anniversaries of when a
particular event happened, rather it will be from whatever I thought
mattered to me, at the time or even today. As regards the title, no of
course I do not think that everything happened in 1983! It's just the
perception I had throughout the rest of the decade, as subsequent years came and
went and life just seemed to be the same from my perspective. In 1983, a
lot changed for me and it seemed to that young man that the world was
changing at the same time!
Anyway, if you've read this far, I hope you'll stick around for my posts looking back at the events of 1983!
