It was, and I find it fascinating this was the first year of Rush Limbaugh. While there are many factors for the world being the way it is now (and yes, insane) he is one of the major reasons why. That divisive punditry and fear mongering (now a gigantic industry with MANY participants) has done so much damage to the US population, I wonder if we'll ever recover.

1988 was the year I turned 13. Lots of good memories, being a kid in the 80s.

1988... I graduated high school in San Diego and started college. It was the last time I saw my friends/classmates. Somehow, I could feel change was in the air as we all rolled towards the 90s...

Van Halen released OU812 their second album with Sammy Hagar, also headlining the monsters of rock tour.

I would give anything to go back to the 1980's. I was 24 for most of 1988. I traded in my Volkswagen bug for a convertible Suzuki Samurai. Nope! Didn't roll once. I never took it off road. I had fun fun fun! I had so much fun that I forgot to get married. Wups! Oh well . . .

Ah yes...1988. The year I was married and settled down in to what could only be described as a routine life. Like a lot of people have commented about the 1980's....I too think back on the years from 1981 through 1988 as the best years of my life. (Have been married to the same lady for 34 years come October)!

That was a great year, I graduated from high school and started college. Also registered to vote on my 18th birthday. Got my first license right before my birthday. It was a great year.

Against strong American objections, Scotland released the Lockerbie bomber in 2009 for "compassionate reasons" since he was diagnosed with cancer. The Scots believed the bomber only had months to live but he ended up living another 3 years. When the bomber returned to Libya he was given a hero's welcome. It was later revealed that the bomber was released as part of a deal to get BP (British Petroleum) a favorable oil contract with Libya.

I turned 20 in 1980. Got married for the first time in ‘85. I miss how we used to dress. When we went out, we all dressed well. “Sharp Dressed Man” was my mantra. I guess that’s why I love Italy so much, even casual they are well dressed. I remember being at clubs and everything would stop when the videos “Beat It”, “Billy Jean”, and “Thriller” would come on, and everyone was trying to Moonwalk. “Miami Vice” ruled the airwaves, and set the standards for both how men dressed and the future of cop shows.

RIP Rush Limbaugh….an American Patriot🇺🇸

I don't remember the exact date, but Nick, Jr., famous preschool block of the already-famous Nickelodeon, premiered this year. Sharon, Lois & Bram's Elephant Show was the only OG Nick, Jr. show I watched as a kid, mostly growing up with the circa 1994 rebrand shows, notably The Busy World Of Richard Scarry and whatever shows co-aired on Noggin after 1999.

A great year for Horror movie sequels: Halloween 4, Friday the 13th Part 7, A Nightmare On Elm Street Part 4, Hellbound Hellraiser II, Phantasm II and the first in a line of Chucky movies in Child's Play.

This year in England we had the dreadful 'Piper Alpha' oil-rig disaster, and the awful Clapham Common train accident, Liverpool were runaway league champions, Wimbledon, against all odds, won the F.A. Cup, Luton Town were surprising League Cup winners. And 'all-day' drinking in Public Houses was introduced!

JUNE 28: Legendary NY Rap group PUBLIC ENEMY releases their seminal sophomore lp, "IT TAKES A NATION OF MILLIONS TO HOLD US BACK" on DEF JAM/CBS records. The album would go on to become a certified classic among many as it captivated music listeners outside of its primary rap audience; Combining militant yet streetwise political and social commentary with a unique multi-layered sound of samples and drums. The album contains hits such as, "BRING THE NOISE", "DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE", "NIGHT OF THE LIVING BASEHEADS", "BLACK STEEL IN THE HOUR OF CHAOS", and "REBEL WITHOUT A PAUSE". AUGUST 6: MTV employee/program director TED DEMME produces and premieres the classic video show, "YO! MTV RAPS". The program, hosted by ex graffiti artist/personality Fred Braithwaite p/k/a FAB 5 FREDDY, and later, DR. DRE and ED LOVER, played a significant role in having Hip-Hop culture spread among viewers/listeners in suburban areas and around the world; Outside of primary Hip-Hop audiences. DECEMBER: TOMMY MOTTOLA, then president of Sony Music/Columbia Records, signs an 18 year old former background singer/aspiring solo artist MARIAH CAREY to a major record deal. She would release her debut lp two years later and go on to become a legendary Pop/R&B superstar.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit was such a technical (mostly in the physical/props sense alongside fantastic acting) achievement people are still today asking how it was done.

I remember that by 1988, records were pretty much phased out at many department stores in favor of cassettes. And of course, CD's were slowly starting to gain traction (even though they had been out since 1982), and many stores had a small but growing CD section
