42 years, wow ! He must be going through some reverse culture shock - talk about time travel !!
He missed tricky dicky Nixon, he missed the Jim Crow laws, the murder of Martin Luther King, missed that Quiet Revolution took place in Quebec increasing the tensions between Québécois nationalists and English Canada. He missed the Mexican and Cuban illegals flooding into the USA, abortion getting legalised in Britain, he missed all those Duck and Cover adverts duing the Coldwar, he missed Jimmy Carter fucking up in Iran and Reagan kissing up to hijackers giving them anti-tank weapons and sending the ayatollah's spare parts for the F-14s, he missed The Sex Pistols, he wouldn't have heard much on the reunification East and West Germany and he missed Clinton's trills with Monica, the OJ and waco-jacko cases and he missed GW putting a big hole in Afghanistan and making a mess of Katrina.
