… You argued about which Charlie’s Angel was the hottest. … Getting up and walking across the room to change the channel didn’t seem like an impossible ordeal. … You were afraid of sharks afer seeing Jaws, even if you lived nowhere near the ocean. … You tried putting everything in the fridge in your family’s new microwave just to see what would happen. … **ON TV**. 20 bucks a month for one cable channel. (b. October, 1967) ---

The drinking age went up in Hawaii in 1986 when I was in college. From 18 to 21…no grandfather clause. We all went to a bar and played American Pie on the jukbox all evening. I drank 3 Long Island Ice Teas. b 2/28/67 ---

Born in 1967. I remember… **Body on Tap** shampoo. “But don’t drink it – just shampoo!” Movies such as Freaky Friday, Island at the Top of the World, The Strongest Man in the World, and Candleshoe. TV shows such as **The Six Million Dollar Man** , **Captain & Tennille (remember the Bionic Watermelon?)**, and **Wonder Woman**. Oh, and re-runs of the Brady Bunch and Gilligan’s Island. And who can forget: **Stoners with straight, black, greasy hair driving beefed-up Camaros.** Lastly… **"I’m a little bit country, I’m a little bit rock-n-roll…"** Someone shoot me. ---
