Life in 1983 wasn't too bad, overall. The world wasn't generally as stressful, and lots of good music was still being made then.
Good vibes were being spread by Guyanese-British musician Eddy Grant, with his "Electric Avenue" song. After the song's video began airing regularly on the then-young MTV network, the song became very popular, and became one of the year's top-selling records.
Located in the Brixton district of London, Electric Avenue is a real street. A diverse population lives in the Brixton area, and the song Electric Avenue reflects several different musical styles.
Interestingly, several reliable Internet websites feature articles regarding a lawsuit that Eddy Grant filed in 2020 against Former President Donald Trump.
According to the Business Insider website, an animated Twitter tweet from the former President in August 2020 used Electric Avenue as background music in the tweet. The tweet was released during the 2020 presidential race, and was not complimentary to now-President Joe Biden.
The BI article says that Mr. Grant's lawsuit was seeking $300,000 in damages.
