Driving around in the 1970 Ford LTD with dad, no seatbelts anywhere. As we drove, I would climb over the front seat to get to my brother and vice-versa.

Seeing the Vietnam War live on the nightly news. I also remember my parents discussing it. My mom thought we shouldn't see it, but my dad said we needed to see it.

I'm so old I remember some of my relatives using Colgate Tooth Powder. It came in a can and after you wet your toothbrush you just sprinkled it on and started brushing. I tried it a couple times and it had a pleasant flavor , but a lot of it would fall off the brush into the sink before getting it in my mouth. Maybe they still make it , but I haven't seen it since the 1960s.

I'm so old I remember Starman on TOTP

Not sure that gets enough credit for how iconic it was.
People talk Sex Pistols first gig or maybe Stone Roses but that moment changed many peoples lives
Many of the artists I loved in the 80’s were inspired by that moment.

 

[Wageslave]

I remember the Pistols with Bill Grundy too

Putting a Humphrey for President sticker on my parents' Dodge Coronet
Riding my bike in the thick cloud of DDT behind the mosquito fogging truck
Watching men land on the moon
