It's 1989 this time, the year the Berlin Wall came down and Neil Young was rocking in the free world. Veteran artists like Tom Petty and Lou Reed had big albums. There were breakthrough hip hop albums from De La Soul and Beastie Boys. New alternative bands were emerging like Pixies and Stone Roses, and a massive earthquake hits San Francisco. It's all 1989, our year on this episode of Time Machine Tuesday from The Current.
