Jon Bon Jovi
Mariah Carey
Alanis Morissette
Whoopi Goldberg
Robin Williams
Tom Hanks

Older than:
Prince William (who?)
Britney Spears

and you were:
23 years old at the time of the 9-11 attack on America
22 years old on the first day of Y2K
19 years old when Princess Diana was killed in a car crash
17 years old at the time of Oklahoma City bombing
16 years old when O. J. Simpson was charged with murder
15 years old at the time of the 93 bombing of the World Trade Center (only vague memory of this. I think I may have been in Spain at the time)

12 years old during the fall of the Berlin Wall
8 years old when the space shuttle Challenger exploded
I don't remember any of these things:
6 years old when Apple introduced the Macintosh

3 years old when Pres. Reagan was shot by John Hinckley, Jr.
2 years old at the time the Iran hostage crisis began
(There's also Top 40s, TV, and Movie milestones, but I tend to not be aware of these things, for the most part)

Date: 2004-03-17 09:56 am (UTC)I'm only about 7 years older than you, but as such, I pretty clearly remember all of things you've forgotten.
(???)
Yeah.

Would you really WANT some of your secret, lost, and intimate memories from your past running through MY head? Would you really want to give me access to those?
You really don't want to imagine how I could ABUSE that kind of power... [evin grin]
