Well that was fun!
I grad. high school in 1980 so I would have been in ... 6th grade?
Carrie was the only book I read.
I saw Chinatown and the Towering Inferno (I had forgotten that one!) Blazing Saddles I saw but thought was stupid.
And I do remember Ford and Nixon of course.
I remember the whole Patty Hearst deal too.
Love the song American Band.
Thanks for that trip!
If I was Richard Noxon I would have left the US out of embarassment.I feel sorry for his close family having to live with the shame of this.
I remember the kidnapping, I was young, but it really stuck in my mind because I'd never heard of anyone being kidnapped before.
I like Blazing Saddles and The Towering Inferno.
I love anything by Steven King!!
