This quiz originally appeared August 7, 1998.
The year for this edition of Phil's Yearly Quiz is 1982. This was the year Britain fought Argentina over the Falklands, and Israel invaded Lebanon. "The Jeffersons" were movin' on up, Sylvester Stallone fought Mr. T in "Rocky III", and "Cats" opened on Broadway. Joe Montana and the San Francisco 49ers won the Superbowl while we somehow survived the popularity of the Smurfs, Valley Girls and Jane Fonda workout videos. Maybe it was by listening to these...
