REM and U2, of course, but I think the band I'll always most associate with those days is Johnny Clegg and Savuka. I discovered them while shopping for music for the club in a store in Ames, Iowa. That was at a point where I needed some life-affirming music. I was DJing at the time (while in school getting my MA), so there are a million things.

Jeff Sam,

What would your soundtrack to 1988 be filled with….just curious as I’d like to compare it with my own of 1988?

The only credit that matters is what's owed JDF. And hopefully by now you've explored the rest of the disc, which is also pretty amazing. Jeff: I had forgotten about the stadium show, actually. But I lived way too far out in the country to hear it. Jeff: It's weird how we can look back and find the best times and the worst sitting side-by-side. For me that would be 1988. And yeah, there's a soundtrack to it.... Jeff: No sweat. The only credit that matters is what’s owed JDF. And hopefully by now you’ve explored the rest of the disc, which is also pretty amazing.

It was a kind of followup to the previous day's post on the Big Picture photos of protests in Iran. I had seen your link to Jeffrey Dean Foster on Youtube and was listening to Summer of the Son of Sam while looking at the images. I wish now I'd given you credit for putting me on to the song. I wish, in fact, that my track record for credit-giving were better than only fair. (There are more Jeffs here than I'm used to: yours, myself, and JDF.)

A 60 some year old man was buying it and had obviously heard about it and knew it was a milestone of sorts. I can still hear the faint boom of Aerosmith and ZZ Top playing at the football stadium that summer too. I wasn't there but I could feel it.

I had the best of times that summer, punctuated by some of the worst times in my life. The music was ready for a change and I remember getting a promo of "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here Comes the Sex Pistols" at the radio station I worked at and my own life was changed. 1977 swept everything before it under the rug. Again, great post Jeff Sam, Fantastic post and links. 1977 was the summer before I graduated from college, and everyone who shares my age has distinct bittersweet memories of that summer.
