Stuck In Thee Garage #495: September 29, 2023

Ah, the '80s. Life was very different then. Technology was primitive compared to today. The California Raisins became pop stars. The Ford Escort was the top-selling car. CDs outsold vinyl for the first time. This week on Stuck In Thee Garage, I played songs from 1988 in hour 2. It's weird that they came out 35 years ago, but not as weird as the fact that OJ Simpson was considered a likeable comic actor in 1988.
