1966 Rick Astley, crooner - actually, he had a not unpleasant voice, I wonder what happened to him. One source put him in 1968. Thankfully, this is incorrect...
In 1968, the 10th Winter Olympic Games opened in Grenoble and Dwight Eisenhower shot a hole-in-one. Something else happened on this day in 1968, but I can't remember it...I merely refer you to Mike's comment from two years ago:
It's 37 which is the killer, believe me. When you know that you really are out of that 18-35 demographic for good, and there's no going back.
I prefer to think of myself as being in my prime...
