It was the year that a serial killer took orders from a dog, our king was laid in state, truck drivers spoke a foreign language, and you could fly to London faster than the average Grateful Dead jam. Who can forget...1977.

It was the year when a politician should have said no, a starship captain said 'make it so' and Wall Street played how low can you go? Who can forget...1987.

It was the year when figure skating became a contact sport, the king of pop married a princess, and the boys of summer canceled October. Who can forget...1994.

It was the year that a plumber threw a monkey wrench into a campaign, the president did some fancy footwork, and something bad was very good. Who can forget...2008.

It was the year the president returned to his real estate roots, the crown met the crib, and people weren't chicken to fight over a sandwich. Who can forget... 2019.
