Hey, I haven't heard Aerosmith on the Eagle yet! OK, I'm sure they play them, but if it were WTAK, I would have heard them a couple dozen times by now.

The Vice City soundtrack rules. San Andreas, not so much so.

And now we can use high speed Internet with unlimited access to bitch about radio instead of incurring long distance charges on a 300 baud BBS.
And the reality TV in this decade is much better. That's Incredible? Come on, That Sucked.
But our current stumblebum President doesn't even have neat old-time Hollywood stories to fall back on when he's flustered like Reagan did.
Also, you didn't have to take out a loan to buy gas back then, unlike now.
Beyond that, yeah, they're not really that different. That's why "That 80s Show" flopped, it might as well have been set in 2001. Nobody would've known the difference.
