AIB Otterpop, I am listening to actual 33-rpm albums while the child is away tonight. I don't feel like one of the "mature" Cyburbians mentioned on some threads, having an 11-year old, being soccer mom and coach, den leader, etc.
I was too young for Vietnam but I wore hip-huggers and platform shoes the first time around.
I have a 45-rpm of "Hey Jude" that I bought at JC Penney.
I remember Walter Cronkite signing off, and still miss Johnny Carson, who I grew up watching (when George Carlin wore a suit and tie and was conservative)
I saw Tiny Tim get married on t.v., Billie Jean King defeating Bobby Riggs, the first moon landing, the draft lotteries, the miracle hockey team, Star Trek in first run, remember Bobby Kennedy being shot, and pigging out at McDonald's for under a dollar (2 burgers, fries, and shake).
My first concert was Bob Seger in 1972, when he pretty much only played in Michigan and Florida.
I saw Mary Poppins, The Great Race, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and the Andromeda Strain in movie theaters.
And I remember Florida before Disney!
What are the signature moments of your generation, as you remember them?
