Got all, but two. However, I would have to dispute burning bras as an answer to No.11 as they were burned for support of the Woman’s liberation back then not in protest to the war in Viet Nam.

Some of the best times of our lives. A simple time.
It only *seemed* simple because I was ignorant of many things like, for example, when my parents took me on the train from Penn Station in NYC to Miami Beach, I didn't realize that I must not drink from water fountains labeled "for colored only."

Got 'em all except I also knew a rather crude alternative version of what LSMFT stood for. Anyone else?

I got them all. I can't believe it since I frequently have memory problems. Must be short term vs long term. Anyone take any meds for this? Do they work?

Don McLean’s song was a tribute to all three who died in that plane crash: Holly, The Big Bopper and Richie Valens. Frugality prevented there being one more person on that flight. A seat was available to another passenger, who turned it down, refusing to pay more money for a short plane ride, than his parents paid in monthly rent on their Bronx apartment. That other person was Dion DeMucci, lead singer of the Belmonts.

I only got 9 right. I was born in ‘71, so I think I was a little too young for some of them.
Great quiz.
