1984. Yet another year that Cubs fans’ hopes and dreams were sliced and diced. The same year that XRT hired a music director named Lin Brehmer. (You’d think he would have learned to steer clear of Clark & Addison.) It was also in 1984 that the Regular Guy stepped off the Belmont bus and started sharing his unique take on movies for XRT. It was a great year for music, from the #1 album on our year-end listener poll – “Born in the USA” – to Frankie Goes to Hollywood, the Psychedelic Furs, U2’s passionate performance at the Aragon, and a popular film and award-winning soundtrack from Prince.
Hope you’ll join us next week as we groove to the tunes of 1968!
