24 Feb 2016: it's... 1984
« on: February 23, 2016, 03:15:56 PM »
As I said in the '77 thread, I'm guessing a late-'80s year is on tap -- '87 is the one we have gone the longest without visiting (not since October, and that was a rerun).

ETA: per the promo, it's the year of Karate Kid...

No FRA qualification? I'm not sure I've ever heard this one before. I'll grant you it isn't very good, but it's certainly out of the ordinary.

ETA: Sax sounds kinda Keysian. I wonder if it's him. (A bit Boss-like too)
ETAM: It's Mars Williams, apparently.
