| 1/16/26 |  Pop Culture In 1989 | The year 1989 was more than just the number...another summer...the sound of the funky drummer.

While we can't do a "We Didn't Start The Fire" type of song with the year, we can revisit as much as possible in under sixty minutes. Tune in and bust a move! Learn more about your ad choices.
