This is just usenet, not a peer reviewed journal with editors to go over
everything. typos happen all the time as well. Strip the crossposting if
you dont like it.

I didn't ask about the cross-posting but the content of the post.
Learn some netiquette.

Don't forget the TV. Lots of kids saw Ed Sullivan's shows. I don't
remember any other variety shows which had soon-to-be rock bands
on. After that, American Bandstand became the show to watch if
you wanted to be part of the teeny bopper clicque. The high
school Friday night dances were already a mainstay by the
time I got that old.

Before John, there was Elvis and then his movies. Nashville had a lot
of influcence too.

I knew lots of people who were drugging and trying to produce code.
They may have had one productive hour/month. I remember a guy
who went from brilliance to having the sole goal of putting
LSD in all the coffee pots on campus.

If you can't explain it in 3 dimensions, then use 4, or 5, or 11.

Doesn't this situation remind you of Ptolemy's epicycles? Just
continue to add more epicycles.
