In an interview in the New York Times (Sunday, March 1, 2015) actress Sarah Goldberg was interviewed concerning the character she plays in the VH1 series 'Hindsight.' In the show, she passes out on the eve of her 2015 wedding and wakes up in 1995. (Hmm, must be a good plot line given the number of times it's been recycled ;-) Anybody share the sentiment in this part of the interview?
Q. Why do you think the '90s are having a cultural resurgence right now?
A. I feel like it's easy to romanticize this time, pre-technology and pre-mobile phones, essentially. People had to really commit. If you made a plan to meet at a bar, there was no texting five minutes before saying, "I'm not showing up." There's something - to me, in hindsight - so sort of sexy and free about it [the '90s], because you had to make a bolder gesture. You had to vote with your feet. You couldn't just vote with your thumbs.
