The Clash - 'London Calling'
1979 was the year of Three Mile Island, Jane Byrne’s election as the first female mayor of Chicago, the end of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”, and Apocalypse Now. Of course, the music is always the star of the show, and from the Clash to the Knack, we played as many songs from 1979 as four hours would allow!Next week on Flashback: 1990
