Decadence is defined as \"the act or process of falling into an inferior condition or state; deterioration; decay\" or my favorite, \"unrestrained or excessive self-indulgence.\" For a decade that brought us Cabbage Patch Kids, Garbage Pail Kids, leg-warmers and New Wave, was it really a state of deterioration?!\u003cp\u003eFor one kid growing up in the Central Valley of California, it was a time of self-discovery . . . a transformation from a kid, to a teenager, to a young adult . . . his growing up years. At times utterly hilarious, at times poignant and powerful, Tom relives his teenage years in this true-to-the-last-word memoir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere were you when John Lennon died?
