Our weekend journey to the past landed on 1987. When the news was heavy, as the New York Times printed an edition that weighed in over 12 lbs.

"Nobody puts baby in a corner" was a memorable quote from the Dirty Dancing film, but when baby Jessica fell into a well in Texas the nation remained transfixed till she was safely rescued two days later. The Simpsons arrived as an animated short as part of the Tracey Ullman show on the new Fox network. A bunny was boiled in the film Fatal Attraction and more than a few of us were wearing acid-washed jeans and jackets with padded shoulders.

Time flies, never to be recalled... except on Saturday Morning Flashback. Here's the playlist from 32 years ago...
