Man, I'm geezing in this group. I think Chigger has me beat since I never quite got the appeal of Elvis; although, I did like hunka-hunka-burnin' love and If you're lookin' for trouble ... you've come to the right place. Sorry, I don't remember the titles.
The black-and-white reference for me was The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. My brother, who is 8˝ years my elder, wanted to watch. I had to watch since he basically loathed the show. My musical tastes were altered immediately.
The McDonald's reference rang a bell for me, too. I remember diving for change after morning swim practice so my friend and I could feast on our bounty.
Now, half of The Beatles are dead, half of The Who are dead, and half of my parents are dead. I have three color TVs, 150 channels, and nothing to watch. Thank goodness for my family, friends, and future.
-René, 47
