When Whip and Chill came out and last a year?Cyclamates in tab and other diet pops?Redbrick streets?Thw 5 and dime? etc. what dou you remember before 1970?

yeah,,,I was pretty young and I was able to fit in that "backpack" Neil wore. not many people know that though. I brought a "Slurpee" with me! I sure did love those!!

I remember the days of no pantyhose (only stockings n garter belts), no blow dryers (try living without those at 15 when you had hair like a Ubangi bushwoman!).......Yeah......I had a 'fro' long before they were cool! Turquoise eye shadow, black eyeliner n frosted white lipstick, go-go boots, paisley hiphugger bell bottoms with crop tops, love beads, mood rings, etc........I was a girly girl back then. Hippies, The Beatles, long hair on guys , Viet Nam, make love not war, peace, love, acid rock, sex, drugs n rock n roll...........As a teen in those days, we were mostly a bunch of walking n talking contradictions......... Thank God we lived through it all!

Helloo NMG

Kennedy assassination, Bay of Pigs invasion, my sister in laws death. She was the first best friend I ever had!

I remember the first song I heard and loved....Alexander's Rag Time Band, by Spike Jones. My uncle went to school with him and played in his band. I was 2 at the time, and it was just before I went into the hospital with TB and my world went to shit in a hand basket.

It was right before my 7th birthday. I remember him jumping down...

Dark Shadows.... I remember watching that when I came home from school.

"Who remembers when Neil Armstrng walked on the moon?"

Yes, I do. Do you recall there were groups of people who claimed the landing was fake?

I was nineteen in !970, soon to become a father.

Lots I can remember before then.

I do remember that like yesterday I had watched it on our B&W tv set.. .I was like "wow !!!!! they could fly all the way to moon and walk on it??"

who can forget N. Armstrong uttering words "one little step for a man and a giant leap for the mankind"
