January 1, 1982. It was the day Iowa played in the Rose Bowl for the first time in 23 years. Sounds familiar doesn't it? Despite the mass hysteria that's gripped our state in 2015, the excitement leading up to the game in late 1981 was probably even greater. The proof is in the music that was produced ahead of it. Love it or hate it now, we all loved it in 1981.
