Take me back to March 20, 1995

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

It is Monday, March 20, 1995. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Pisces. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

Spring has arrived, and the days are starting to get longer. St. Patrick's Day of 1995 has recently come and gone. In America, the song "Take A Bow" by Madonna is at the top of the singles charts, while "Love Can Build A Bridge" by Cher, Chrissie Hynde, Neneh Cherry & Eric Clapton is the number-one song in the UK.

Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Man of the House is at the top of the box office. John Major is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. A new form of communication called "text messaging" is starting to become more widespread. However, it can only be done if both the sender and the receiver are on the same cell network.

Meanwhile, a global system called "the Internet" is also starting to take off. Each day, more and more people are learning how to send emails and browse "websites" on the World Wide Web by connecting their IBM computers to noisy dial-up modems. In fashion, "grunge" clothing has fallen out of favor, and women are beginning to wear form-fitting outfits such as slip dresses and pencil skirts. Movies such as Clueless and The Craft have popularized the "sexy schoolgirl" look. In Europe, a war is continuing to rage in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The CD is quickly becoming the dominant format for music, and people are buying portable players such as the "Discman". Consequently, sales of cassette tapes are continuing to decline. It's 1995, so radio stations are being dominated by the likes of Celine Dion, Everything but the Girl, Coolio, Oasis, Michael Jackson, Boyzone, Madonna, Montell Jordan, TLC and Mariah Carey. Former football player O.J. Simpson is currently being tried for the murder of his ex-wife and her friend.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Eazy E, Selena, Bob Ross, and Jerry Garcia would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Step by Step", "Frasier", "Babylon 5", and "Touched by an Angel". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Mortal Kombat II", "Myst", "Wario's Woods", and "Theme Park".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Fireman Sam", "The Ren & Stimpy Show", "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper", and "Boy Meets World". Popular toys at the moment include Micro Machines, Lego Pirates, Tiger 2-XL Talking Robot , and Action Man.
