Bluegrass Breakdown: 1982, Part Four

We’ll be whirling back to 1982 when, among other things: “Taxi” moves from ABC to NBC; the movies “E.T.” (directed by Steven Spielberg) and “Blade Runner” (starring Harrison Ford) are released; war ends in the Falkland Islands with Argentina surrendering to Great Britain; Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” from the “Rocky III” soundtrack stays at number one for six weeks; the Atlanta Braves remove Chief Noc-A-Homa’s teepee to make room for additional seating; and the music of the High Window Boys, Joe Isaacs, Carl Jackson, and the Johnson Mountain Boys cause all BluegrassLand to sing.
