Radiohead turned the music business on its head by using a pay-what-you-want business model on their In Rainbows album. The White Stripes made their final studio album, while Bon Iver released their debut record in the north woods of Wisconsin. Mavis Staples revisited some of the Civil Rights anthems of the ‘50s and ‘60s, and Arcade Fire released their highly anticipated second album.

Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize. The New England Patriots ran the table, going undefeated 2007, but losing to the Giants in the Super Bowl in early ‘08. The San Antonio Spurs swept LeBron and the Cleveland Cavaliers to win the NBA title.

Mad Men debuted and popularized cocktail culture, and The Simpsons became movie stars. It’s 2007 our year on this episode of Time Machine from The Current.
