We’ll be careening back to 1982 when, among other things: Michael Jackson releases his album “Thriller”; the Orioles’ Cal Ripken is named the AL Rookie of the Year; the movie “Tootsie” starring Dustin Hoffman and Jessica Lange premieres; Herschel Walker wins the 48th Heisman Trophy Award; Time Magazine’s Man of the Year is a computer, and the hard driving sounds of Ralph Stanley, Blaine Sprouse, Spectrum, and Joe Val make the airwaves sizzle.
