In 1988, Living Colour released an album that would simmer for nearly a full year before kicking down the door of the standard rock scene with one of the biggest pounding rock anthems of the decade. "Cult of Personality" became their biggest hit and changed the idea of what a rock band should look and sound like. Vernon Reid's blistering guitars and Corey Glover's soulful voice, along with some help from Mick Jagger and Michael Jackson, helped push this album over the top. Come and join us as we go track by track through "Vivid" with Patreon member James Buckley!

When Poison broke big in 1986 they brought with them loads of glitz, glam, style, confidence and FUN. Unlike many of their peers though, they also had great songs. In May of 1988 they released their second album that included what might be the greatest party rock anthem of the 80s and what might be the greatest power ballad of the 1980s. So grab your nearest Fallen Angel, fire up the pyrotechnics and confetti and join us and go track by track through "Open Up and Say...Ahh!" with our good friend, Dale Selby!

1988 was the year that the Cold War began to thaw, when the Reagan era ended and the Bush era began. It was also the year where the USA lost in Olympic basketball for the first time, Kirk Gibson won the World Series with one swing and Mike Tyson was the baddest man on the planet.

It's hard to believe that 1988 was 35 years ago, but it's even harder to whittle down the music of 1988 to a Top 5 list! Join Jason and Dee as we do our best to choose the best of a year where the King of Pop still reigned but hair bands and hip hop were storming the castle!

In the mid sixties a young girl named Suzy Hinton wrote a story about teenage gangs in her school. The story, published while she was just 18, went on to create the Young Adult genre and sell millions of books. In 1983, "The Outsiders" was made under the direction of superstar director Francis Ford Coppola and assembled maybe the greatest young cast in movie history. Also that year, Coppola stays in Tulsa and continues his use of that young cast creating what some refer to as his masterpiece. Join us as we discuss and celebrate the 40th anniversary of these movies, giving love to Tulsa along the way.
