What would it feel like to go back to the year 1990, a time of iconic music, classic movies, and unforgettable events? Come join us on a captivating journey back to the era of vibrant mixtapes and chunky VHS tapes. We're dusting off our denim jackets and rewinding our memories to the rhythm of Morrissey's anthems at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, and the entrancing sounds of the Australian band, Church.
We dive headfirst into the legend of Sinead Connor and the haunting notes of 'Nothing Compares to You', penned by the enigmatic Prince. The infamous Blonde Ambition Tour of Madonna, the star-studded tribute concert for Nelson Mandela, and Janet Jackson's twinkle on the Hollywood Walk of Fame are among the notable events we re-examine. Join us for some trivia too, from Eric Clapton’s marathon concert series at the Royal Albert Hall to the debut broadcast of MTV Unplugged.
Bringing a balance of charitable spirit and flavor to your lives, we introduce the HERD Foundation, a not-for-profit guiding veterans to work with horses, and their delicious range of barbecue and hot sauces. Then, shifting gears to the world of cinema, we critique the best of 1990, from Goodfellas to Dances with Wolves. Lastly, we express our gratitude to our dedicated listeners and hint at our exciting plans for future shows. So kick back, tune in, and get ready to be transported back to a year that truly rocked our world.
