4. Me too

I vividly remember sitting on the living room floor in 1964 and seeing JPG&R on Sullivan. I was seven but I still knew that they would change the world.

14. Good guys, our dads, eh?

Funny, I was in condo/apartment w 3 roomies, ONLY sophomores so housed! My midwest state school, rather conservative (in boner's district!) had run out of rooms in dorms (bad planning!) so leased a few apartments, accepted volunteers, and they actually ran out of junior and senior volunteers so my friends and I were the only sophomores so housed! Was a real kick! And then there were the Beatles!!!

15. Most definitely good guys!

Ah, you lucked out with the dorm situation. I wanted to live in a condo/apt too, but could not get my parents to spring for the costs.

Ah well. I wasn't really ready for that anyway...

I still had a lot more freedom than I'd had at home, lol!

13. I remember when early episodes of Cheers were sponsored by Lucky Strikes on DuPont Radio Network

And instead of DVDs, we had to record the shows at home with a hand cranked gramophone. And we liked it that way.

(PS, you're all going to die soon.)
