Lately I get sad whenever I think about the 1988 movie Beaches. It had a hit song called "Wind Beneath My Wings" and it was hugely popular with female audiences at the time, of all ages. I saw the movie once, but I don't remember much about it really.
But something I remember is when my cousins (two sisters) were visiting us around that time. They are about 6 and 7 years older than me. I hung out with one of them (who arrived in town a day earlier) when she came to visit. We went to the mall and she bought the Beaches tape as a gift for her sister. I remember her complaining about how she didn't like much popular music of the day. At the time it was becoming more hip hop and heavy dance oriented (Paula Abdul and Janet Jackson, etc).
This is just a very sad thing and I had to share it, even if it sounds crazy.
It was also one of the last good times I spent with my cousins, as our families drifted apart because of family quarrels shortly after that.
