This week, host Amber Star takes us back to the year 1986. It was a year of tragedies, but also a fun year for music.
In January, the space shuttle Challenger exploded, instantly killing 7 astronauts, and emotionally scarring a decade of children who watched on TV. In April in the Soviet Union, the nuclear power station Chernobyl blew up, causing death and devastation that continues to this day.
On TV, The Cosby Show and Cagney and Lacey were popular, and the movies Top Gun and Platoon were big at the box office.
What songs were blasting out of our boom boxes in 1986? Tune in Friday night at 10 to find out!
