I like Deep Purple, I like Rainbow, I like AC/DC, not so much Whitesnake because, well, they're kinda like Def Leppard, they came and went.

More familiar with Michael Jackson than the Apollo missions.
I remember Farm Aid, does that count?
Doesn't ring a bell with me.
They say Armstrong walked on the moon in April 69.
A lot of other people say it was faked I don't know.
I was 8 in 1969.
Deep Purple were never the same after Blackmore left.
That's real crazy music he's playing now.
It's like something out of the 16th century.

as a fellow 1976'er i can also vouch for your list. although mine would have a bit less 'carebears' and 'my little pony' and a bit more 'star-wars' and 'he-man'. i also lost a few years in the 90's for example, i know i went to art college at some point but its lost in some sort of booze and weed induced memory black hole. i dont even have any paintings left to prove it, maybe it was a dream.
I saw all the Star Wars movies later but I do remember seeing the animated Star Wars cartoons on TV. I thought He-Man was kinda stupid at the time, lol. I didn't mind ThunderCats though, because, well, they were cats, hehe.

Far better than the later ones.
Originally posted by PonderableI remember watching it on TV and being fascinated how all the Germans were freaking out and crying and hugging each other. I thought it was very cool.

Originally posted by johnnylongwoodyFarm Aid doesn't have to do with starvation. You're thinking Live Aid. Farm Aid is about helping American farmers cope with mortgage debt (I think).
Well if that's the case it was never more important than it is today.
I still don't understand how in this modern age we still have people starving.

1. I thought America is the land of opportunity and
2. I thought that if you had land you would be better off than most.
Over here in Ireland, there always has been an urban rural divide.
City folk like me were just blue collar Joes trying to scrape a living
whereas Irish farmers, most of them anyway would be regarded
the same as landed gentry. Farmers in Ireland are not seen as
poor. As well as owning land they get subsidies from Europe.

America is the land of the free. Unlike all those other sucker countries like Canada and Ireland. ðŸ˜
and not in part or out of context.
It would also serve you well to realize that America is not
the Capital of Planet Earth or the Universe either.
On a side issue, I am a fan of John Cougar Mellencamp.
