I could answer some of them (like Huntley & Brinkley and I remember how they opened with Beethoven), but others completely stumped me. The music and sports one stumped me (didn't listen to radio until about '75).

LOL, didn't we just have this discussion, about graybeards and such?

BTW, got them all right, call me Zou the Boomer!

[hoosier]

I missed the Wonder Bread question and I had different wording on the answer to where the flowers have gone (I thought it was "young girls picked them, every one.") I got all the others right.

Can I still consider myself a boomer?

[johan_steele]

Is it bad that I am NOT a boomer and I still got more than half right?

[Miss Markie]

I got them all correct... man, did I watch too much TV or what? I spent most of the 60's with a transistor radio nearly attached to my ear (not so easy in the days before 'headsets'), and watched TV until they played the Star Spangled Banner... now how many of you remember THAT?

And, of course, the test pattern.
