"King of Wishful Thinking"

1990 is sort of an odd year. 1989-91 was like a watered down 80's with some pre-90's things slowly peaking in. You can actually see it in this Flashback music chart from April 1990 (70% 80s / 30% 90s in my estimation): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4-qsB22d6E&list=RDv4-qsB22d6E

TMNT mania.

I experienced most of 1990 in the womb, but Another Day in Paradise by Phil Collins makes me think of 1990. I know my parents were listening to a lot of Tracy Chapman in 90 though. I might even have been conceived to Fast Car  :o
