Location: Boise, Idaho | Paul, on the other thread you were 28. You just blew your cover.
My daughter has been attending the Rainbow gatherings for years. They sound like mini Woodstocks without the music. That leaves the smelly hippies without toilet facilities. I don't get it. |

When my wife was taking a Physics class in '82 or '83, her professor asked for a show of hands of everyone that remembered seeing the moonwalk live. She was the only person that raised her hand. I knew then that we were old :rolleyes: . I think I've youth'd up a little since then.
I remember getting out of class in grade school and watching the launches on TV's in the halls. |

Location: NJ | We were doing a gig once and had just finished Elton John's "RocketMan", and in an effort to offer some inane, on-mic "banter" while Rick was re-tuning, I asked him what was the first thing HE remembered of the Space Program . . .
". . uh, what was that thing . . . the "Challenger"?? . . ."
I ordered another drink . . . |

Location: Caribou, ME | I was 9 when Woodstock took place. I heard my older brother (18) and sisters (16 and 15) talk about it. I thought, Jeez, Woodstock, NB is only about 60 or 70 miles from here, why didn't you guys GO?
Later they bought the 8 track which would have been considered a box set nowadays. At that age I was very impressed with the "Gimme an F" cheer more than anything.
In 1985 right before I bought my first VCR I had a friend tape the Woodstock movie off PBS for me. It was the very virst VCR tape I owned (still have it).
I did have a quickie with a chubby chick in 1982 who had gone to Woodstock with her husband at that time... |

Location: Caribou, ME | Yes, I was 21 (short of 22 by a couple months). I don't actually know how old she was, but somewhere in her 30s, divorced, with a 12 year old daughter.
Age doesn't make any difference unless it's wine or cheese.
"Dating" someone in their 30s when I was 21 was a badge of honor. Cripe, I'm 47 now! If I were approached by a divorcee in her 30s NOW I'd fall over dead. |

In '67, I remember seeing the Doors for the outrageous price of $10 at the Shrine Auditorium in L.A. Also remember paying $.23 a gallon for gas (paid $3.69 today). Also remember Helms Bakery Trucks, home milk delivery and the Fuller Brush man. |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Summer between my junior and senior year in HS. My good friend and I planned to go: we had his mom's car lined up and had saved some money...then my parents found out: that was the end of that! Actually had another friend in college that did go...claims he was so stoned that he doesn't remember much of the actual concert except for the Who: he really wanted the guitar Townshend threw to the crowd...he was evidently nearby and missed it. |
