Let's go back to 1998. Aerosmith sang
I Don't Want to Miss a Thing while Celine Dion's
Heart Will Go On brought tears to our eyes. We listened to
Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls while Will Smith was
Gettin Jiggy With It. The Denver Broncos won the Super Bowl and the New York Yankees took the World Series.
Armageddon, Bug's Life and
There's Something About Mary dominated the theaters. And could we ever forget...
Cowboy Bebop made its premiere.
Lots of good stuff going on this week, so let's get to it, shall we? :)
