1969

...I was Grade Five...then grade six...
Nixon, Arafat, ghadaffi, come to power. People's Park and the anti-war movement vs Gov Reagan and the National Guard. Vietnam War and the draft lottery comes to a peak. Sirhan Sirhan and James Earl Jones are guilty. Manson Family and the Zodiac killer are a media thriller. The Jets and the Mets are champions. Woodstock and Altimont are a hit, 2 years after the Summer of Love. Apollo lands man on the moon. The 747 and Concord have their first flights. Popular are John and Yoko, Led Zep, The Godfather in print, and the Midnight Cowboy in film. Also Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, True Grit, Easy Rider, Love Bug, and Hello Dolly.. The birth of the Internet [ARAPANET], WalMart, Monty Python, and Sesame Street. Gomer, Peyton Place, the Avengers, and Star Trek is cancelled [boo hoo], replaced by Brady Bunch, Love American Style, Tom Jones, and Johnny Cash. Archie, Scooby, and HR Puff'n'Stuff were silly. Monty Python was...well...
