The Year Was 1998–on the pop music charts, “Still the One” by Shania Twain, “How Do I Live” by Leann Rimes, Will Smith’s “Gettin’ Jiggy With It” and Chubawumba with “Tubthumping”…new television shows included “That 70’s Show” and MTV’s “Total Request Live”…on the big screen, “The Big Lebowski” and “The Truman Show”…and in the news, President Bill Clinton denied a sexual relationship with a White House intern, Mark McGwire hit 70 home runs to break the MLB single season record…John Glenn returned to space…and Viagra was approved for sale–and television commercials.
