The Classic/Retro Pop Culture Thread

Well, one thing is that there probably would have been no assassination. Also, he would not have been as inspiring to American youth. I think the whole 60s Counterculture movement would have played out very differently, though I'm not sure how.

I was shooting in the dark, I really don't know much about him.

Oops, I did. I saw it on my read through, then missed it when I went back to listen to everything. It's got some very 50s lyrics.

Originally a Little Richard song, you may recall.

Interesting. I guess I wasn't watching it as long as I thought. In my memory, it was on at the same time as Batman and stuff.

Could it have ran in reruns? Or were you watching Batman reruns adjacent to it (which seems like it may be right for me)?

It's too bad, too, because I really like most of the Sesame characters.

Elmo is way after my time.

Funny you should say that, because bell bottoms originated in the Navy.

Heh.

Hmm, I don't remember that.

I wanna say it might've had to do with an M:I plot.

I don't think I ever thought about it. He kind of fades away next to her.

His name was vaguely familiar to me, which made me think he was probably a 5Der.

I don't really know a lot of details, but I do know that he was a lot more reserved than JFK. He would not have provided the same inspiration to the youth of America.

Ah, yes.

That's a possibility, although I have no memories of it being on either of the local UHF stations.

He's why I said "most." He's not on my list.

Hmm. Still not ringing any bells. I dunno.
