Simpson was arrested and charged with murder, Olympic figure skater Nancy Kerrigan was attacked after a competition, and Republicans took the majority in the U.S. House thanks to the “Contract With America”…new television programs included “Friends” and “These Friends of Mine” (which became “Ellen”)…on the big screen, “Forrest Gump,” “The Lion King” and “Dumb and Dumber”…and on the music charts, “I’ll Make Love To You” by Boyz II Men, “I Saw The Sign” by Ace of Bass, Tim McGraw’s “Indian Outlaw” and “I’m the Only One” by Melissa Etheridge.
