Was 1984 pop music’s greatest year? Find out on this week’s Deadbeat Club

By Nathan Moore

Tune in WTJU this Friday, Jan 22, 2 – 4 p.m. as we travel back in time to the year 1984.

Was 1984 pop music’s greatest year? That’s what author Michaelangelo Matos argues in his new book Can’t Slow Down. This week, he joins WTJU’s Deadbeat Club with host Nick Murray to discuss what made the year so special.

Tune in to hear tales from the book, his pick for the best Hüsker Dü live recording, and a few WTJU throwbacks pulled from our own archives.
