The Time Machine stops in 1977 this time. The punk rock and new wave explosion was underway with debuts from The Clash and Elvis Costello. David Bowie had a busy year releasing Heroes, and he produced Lust for Life for his friend Iggy Pop. There were phenomenons like Saturday Night Fever and Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. Donna Summer recorded the influential "I Feel Love". It's all 1977, our year on this episode of Time Machine, a look back on a year in music, pop culture, and the world.
