The year 1989 was a total blast! I mean, where do I even begin? Let’s talk about the movies first – that year gave us some absolute classics like “Dead Poets Society”, “When Harry Met Sally”, and “Back to the Future Part II”. And don’t even get me started on the TV shows – we had “The Simpsons” debuting on our screens, and it completely revolutionized animated television. And the music? Oh boy, we had some great hits from artists like Madonna, Prince, and Bon Jovi. It was like the perfect mix of entertainment that year – everything just seemed to click.
