October 1988 Pop Culture: Vibes, Dudes & Female Ones To Watch

Our coverage of October 1988's pop culture topics kicks off with a big announcement: we're on Patreon! And we've got lots of cool things planned for those who support us there! We get out our electron microscopes to peruse the two-page Columbia House spread and choose the 12 Hot Hits we're going to buy for a Cool Penny. We bring you highlights from What Now, from a rudely dismissed River Phoenix biography to a beauty queen who infiltrated a pageant! We review the reviews of A Fish Called Wanda, Joy Division's Substance, Monkey Shines, UB40's self-titled album, and more! The latest male One To Watch is...really not, but later we are introduced to FOUR lady Ones To Watch who've all had great careers. We also journey to Long Island to meet Brian Bloom, and his very-involved momager. Don't miss it!
