End Of The Century presents:
𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟴 – 𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟴 – 𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟴 – 𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟴 – 𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟴 – 𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟴 – 𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟴 – 𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟴 – 𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟴
LJ hosts End of the Century!
He has now reached to 𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟴 in his slower than pitch tar creep of a survey of the years covered by this show.
What was going on in ’98?
• Brandy and Monica duel it out on their hit single “The Boy is Mine.”
• Will Smith gets “Jiggy wit it.” Because in 1998 he was still a music artist, not an actor. He also seemed a bit, perhaps, happier then.
• Dave Navarro’s brief stint with The Red Hot Chili Peppers comes to an end.
• Cher believes in life after love… and autotune.
• George Michael engages in a “subconsciously deliberate act” in a Beverly Hills public restroom.
None of this will be played on this afternoon’s show! (LJ has to clear room for one of the best albums ever made…)

End Of The Century presents:
Today, from 3 to 5 p.m., L.J. hosts End of the Century!
When L.J. last hosted, he stopped at 1982, so this show is going to be all 1983!
1983 is a fascinating year for music as we see the pop landscape fragment into a lot of different directions and new genres develop their tropes. Some of the heavy hitters in 1983: #Eurythmics! #Madonna! #Metallica! #NewOrder! #ZZTop! #ThePolice!
