Next week, Johnny Mars takes us to 1983. The year The White Sox were "Winning Ugly" on the South Side, Chicago elected Harold Washington as our first African American Mayor and the TV show "Mash" signed off with a record 125 million people watching. Speaking of records, we got the first L.P. from R.E.M. and the last from The Police.
