    Hmmmm… when I was 12… Nixon resigned, Lucy and the Terracotta Warriors were unearthed (in Ethiopia and China respectively but it sounds like a band this way) Ali KO’d Foreman and Aaron outhit Ruth, my dad hated driving 55, my mood ring was always black… No Chinatown or Godfather for me, but I was allowed to see Blazing Saddles! Oh and I heard some of the older teens talk about a new game called D&D that was supposedly getting kids into drugs…

      Nice to know I’m not the oldest one here. When I was 12 someone failed his shot at Reagan and a Russian sub ran aground in Swedish waters. The marine kind, get your mind out of the gutter. 😉

        Umm when I was 12 Kurt Cobain killed himself.

        I’m still partially convinced Courtney Love did it…
