20 years ago - give or take...

Yesterday the song of the day for my middle schoolers was Metallica's "Enter Sandman". I realised that Enter Sandman came out in 1991 - 21 years ago. Really! Does it feel like that long ago? But I guess it was. It was huge back in high school. My husband's 20 year high school reunion is this year, which means mine is coming up next year. Here are a few of the 20 years ago this happened headlines:
