Let's go back to the nineties.

It is Thursday, November 28, 1991. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Sagittarius. In America, families are currently celebrating Thanksgiving.

It's November, so the evenings are getting darker and the days are getting colder. In America, the song "Set Adrift On Memory Bliss" by P.M. Dawn is at the top of the singles charts, while "Black Or White" by Michael Jackson is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Snr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Cape Fear is at the top of the box office.

John Major is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Texting is not a thing yet. Instead, people are using landline phones and pagers. Furthermore, most people have never heard of the Internet. In fashion, many of the trends from the late 80s are still popular. Colored tights, denim overalls, leotards, flannel shirts and shoulder pads are all fashionable at the moment.

A civil war is taking place in the African country of Rwanda. It's 1991, so the airwaves are being dominated by artists such as Bryan Adams, Michael Jackson, Roxette, R.E.M., Color Me Badd and Paula Abdul. A rock subgenre called "Grunge" is starting to rise in popularity.

In Europe, the Soviet Union is continuing to dissolve. The Communist Party has just been officially banned from Russia by a presidential decree. Irish rock band U2 have released their new album "Achtung Baby". The films "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Addams Family" have just been released in movie theaters.

Music fans are mourning the deaths of Queen singer Freddie Mercury and KISS drummer Eric Carr. Mercury recently passed away after a battle with AIDS, and Carr died from complications of heart cancer. The trial of four police officers for the beating of Rodney King back in March has recently been moved to Simi Valley, California. The decision has raised eyebrows as Simi Valley is a nearly all-white suburb.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Benny Hill, Robert Reed, Anthony Perkins, and Chuck Connors would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Only Fools and Horses", "The Cosby Show", "Full House", and "Quantum Leap".
