The Time Machine parks in 1982 this time. The Clash issued Combat Rock, which became their biggest album in the U.S. Prince released his biggest album yet and was becoming a superstar. Marvin Gaye issued maybe the sexiest song he ever recorded. And maybe you were breakdancing to Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five "The Message," which was all over the charts. And the sitcom Cheers hit the small screen. It's all 1982, our year on this episode of Time Machine from The Current.
