Kinda long but interesting. I did miserably poor. I guess I have slept through much of the first 50 years of my life. LOL

1. That was fun! I got 75%, which was high up on the curve.

But I was really into popular culture, as well as politics, when I was growing up. :-)

3. for me, it is history

since Grace Kelly and Marilyn Monroe were before my time.

2. what is miserably poor?

I got 60% but many of those were lucky guesses. I really had no idea what Alice Cooper's and Sid Vicious' real names are. I even had to guess at two of the feminist authors - and I owned a bookstore (which is the reason I got "the female eunuch" right.) But the "seminal 1980s novel" - I never heard of it. I thought it was a Michael J. Fox movie.

8. not much worse than I did

but you are a little older than I too.

4. I got a 70%

not bad for someone born in the mid 80's...although I will admit a few were definitely lucky guesses

5. Considering I wasn't born until 1963...I did well

71% which places me in the top 4%.

7. Most of those questions were about stuff that happened

either before I was born or too little to care. I did poorly as well.

9. I was alive and should remember it better than I did.

11. I'm with you.

I may not live along enough to see it load! And besides I believe if you remember the 60's you weren't there!:hippie:
