Can You Believe These Things Are Turning 50 This Year?
My how time flies when you're having fun.1969 was 50 years ago, y'all. If you watched the ABC Tuesday night limited series '1969', you've no doubt gone down memory lane a couple of times in the last couple of months. It's a fascinating look back at what many people consider a much better time.
A lot of the crazy things in life got their start that year, and I thought I would list off some, for a little nostalgia this summer. Be sure to check out the whole list from Mental Floss.
