1985 and "I Have a Dream"

So people have asked, "What exactly happened in 1985?", and I have to refer to the music which may have inspired Ben to say such a thing...

Songs from 1985:
Take on Me--Ah-Ha
What About Love--Heart
Raspberry Beret--Prince
I Want to Know What Love Is--Foreigner
Born in the USA--Bruce Springsteen
Broken Wings--Mister Mister
and finally the ultimate song from 1985
We Are the World--USA for Africa

and on the way home from the park today...

I Have a Dream
Ben: "Mum, can we go to McDonalds?"
Me: "No, honey."
Ben: "Sam (his cousin) said HE is going to McDonalds."
Me: "Well, he might SAY he's going, but I don't think he is. He already had lunch."
Ben: "Well, he can dream can't he?"

I smile and think to myself, yes, we can ALL dream.
