Alan Partridge was an adult film star.

Too damned lazy to check, It's not really a 'must know' thing for me.

Wow! Fulghy's post on page 1 of this thread really hit home for me. Also stratman's post about remembering Jim Morrison puting it to the censors by NOT singing what THEY wanted, instead Jim-Bo sang exactly what HE wanted, I don't know why but I can vividly picture jim turning toward the camera and emphizing HIGHER, strange the picture comes to mind after all these years. Fulghy I too was in 2nd grade when MLK was shot, My best friend steve's birthday is april 4th, and we were all about getting out of school and playing with his new kites he got for his B-day But then Mrs. Mack pulls one of those tall carts with a b&w TV on it, this was unusual then, not too much A/V in 2nd grade those day's, and they start showing all the coverage, I think the whole nation watched spell bound. Thanks for bringing that memory back, makes me think about where I grew up (Midland MI) and gives me a good feeling. As far as the franksantler stuff, We got a 19" b&w in '67 and our next door neighbors schmitz got a color in '69. We watched the moon landing on it IN color (the video feed was b&w, ironic EH!). Star Trek (not star war's) was on but the 1st year was on CBS and we couln't get channel 25 (our CBS), we could only get two of the 3 available channels to come in (time out,' Lord have mercy on my soul ' Black Oak Arkansas just came on wmp9 shuffle play, gotta stop typin & listen!) Wow what a GREAT song. Anyway the 2nd or 3rd season we could get reception of Star Trek, cause they switched networks. I don't ever remember milk delivered, it's not a very sanitary way of conveying milk, in my opinion. I probably wore out more 8 track tapes than the number of the oldest member on this site (high 40's over 50, something like that) I never owned a car then, I was 6 in 1967, i DID have a radio and listened to WTAC 'the big 6' in Flint on the AM band, my brother's and my radio did not have an FM band on it! Yeah sure, I remember.

You're obviously a mentalist!

Some great recollections there, waters.

I remember well the night after MLK was killed too. I was in the Army and was pulling CQ duty. (Charge of Quarters). There was a lot of racial tension in the air, although nothing overt was being said. Some of the black guys in our outfit had been drinking at the EM club and were surly. Two of them got into a knife fight in their room and I had to go break it up. I smooth-talked the guy with the knife into giving it to me, telling him I didn't want to call the MP's and get him into trouble with an Article 15 or going to the Brig. He seemed to agree, then suddenly he lunged at me as I reached for his knife, and laid open my left forearm. (I still have a nice scar there) He was luckily half-drunk, so a punch to the jaw put him on his back, and I got his knife. Fun times. Thanks a lot James Earl Ray, you prick.

I remember the 1969 moon landing. I was eating supper in Valente's Italian Restaurant in Lakewood, CO, eyes riveted on the TV along with all the other patrons, when Neil Armstrong uttered those famous words "One small step...yadda yadda".
Everyone in the place cheered.

Let me see if I got this right. The government is now going to spend billions of dollars we don't have to force car companies to make cars they don't want to make to sell to people who don't want to buy them so that we can combat man-made global warming that is neither man made nor warming.

Fascism & Communism don't begin with piles of corpses, they begin with hope and change.

i dont really remember any of those things. not even the nailpolish one cause i've never bought nail polish. nothing has really happened in my life thats insanely important. i have my memories but not the international memories like some of you. my earlier memory is when i was 2 and my brother was pulling me around in a little red wagon, and he sort of pulled the handle up and the whole wagon flipped up and i smashed the back of my head on the drive way.

I remember when Paris Hilton was just a hotel in Paris.

Stratman, I'm glad you weren't seriously injured that night. You will hold a special place in my heart, as all servicemen do, especially Nam era, my brother got lucky and missed the draft. He was 10 years older than me, and I remember watching on the evening news the draft numbers and praying they wouldn't take my brother from us (my dad died in '63 and things were kinda rough) I think he got such a high number cause our dad was deceased. A couple of my cousins volunteered to go to nam, both made it back, and when they got back and got spit on they said "don't matter what they think, what's gotta be done, has gotta be done by somebody". I appreciate your service to our country, I was in the navy '81-'89, cheers to all servicemen in all respected country's. My stepDad died april '02, we found out he saved two guys (wwii pacific theater) and had a bronze star, his son jeff didn't even know, either. He was at Ford field when pearl got bombed dec 7th, I pressed him one night (we'd gotten really drunk that night) to tell me about pearl, I never asked him to do that again, after he explained in detail. That was the first time I realized just how nasty and scary war can be, real war ain't like the movies!
