The Time Machine rolls back to 1989 this time. The B-52s released their best-selling album. Janet Jackson headed to Minneapolis to record Rhythm Nation 1814. The Pixies hit the big time with their Doolittle CD. The Berlin Wall came down. An earthquake hit San Francisco minutes before Game 3 of the World Series between the Oakland A’s and the San Francisco Giants. It’s all 1989, our year on this episode of Time Machine.
