We fuel up the Time Machine for a trip to 1998 this time, year of the massive-selling The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill album. Fatboy Slim made his breakthrough. Neutral Milk Hotel made an indie-rock masterpiece, and the Twin Cities band Semisonic made "Closing Time" popular. Also in Minnesota, former wrestler Jesse Ventura won the gubernatorial race. It's all 1998, our year on this episode of Time Machine Tuesday.
