Chris Miller's Best Of

History of College Radio: 1997

DJ Forkeigh

WRUB co-founder Chris Miller looks back at college radio’s best music from each of the last 25 years. We kick things off with his first solid year of 1997!

We look back at 1997 and remember the introduction of the Emergency Alert System in the United States, Bill Clinton’s second term as President, and Madeleine Albright makes history as the first female Secretary of State.

You weren’t there so you can’t say this is Madeleine.

Billy Crystal hosts the 69th (sweet!!) Annual Academy Awards, where The English Patient wins Best Picture and those shiny discs your parents let you break for art projects are introduced to the world.

So, so many sharp pieces permanently glued to the wall.

Lots of other really wonderful and/or terrible things happened in 1997, but we’ll let Chris tell you all about that and play enjoyable music.
