What's hanging dudes? Welcome to 1997. Things are totally wicked right now. That football star OJ Simpson was found liable for murdering Ron Goldman & Nicole Simpson, some far out guys in Scotland cloned a sheep, and we had to pour one out for our fallen soldier, Christopher "Biggie" Wallace. Even after his death he had plenty of records climbing up the charts. So sit back, relax and take notes while we take tokes and groove down the 1997 nostalgia road.

    Alright you cool cats. Thanks for stepping into 1997 with us. Go rewatch the scene in Titanic where Jack draws rose naked and remember how it made you feel when you were 14. We'll see you in 1996 where we'll feel a whole lotta California Love.
