Take me back to June 9, 1995

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

The date is June 9, 1995, and it's a Friday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Gemini. Many people have "that Friday feeling" and are looking forward to the weekend.

The summer of 1995 is in full swing. The weather is warm, and the evenings are brighter than usual. Most schools and colleges are now finished until August or September. In America, the song "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman" by Bryan Adams is at the top of the singles charts, while "Unchained Melody / The White Cliffs Of Dover" by Robson Green & Jerome Flynn is the number-one song in the UK. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Congo is at the top of the box office.

John Major is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Seinfeld", "Martin", "Mad About You", and "Beavis and Butt-Head". 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 Bob Ross, Jerry Garcia, Mickey Mantle, and Yitzhak Rabin would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "Mortal Kombat II", "The Jungle Book", "Mortal Kombat 3", and "Full Throttle". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "X-Men: The Animated Series", "The Nanny", and "Aaahh!!! Real Monsters".

Children are playing with toys such as Cabbage Patch Kids, Lego Pirates, Jurassic Park: Young Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Fisher-Price Great Adventures Castle.
