The Years Gone Bye: a Yearly Snapshot of the People, Places, and Things That Captured Our Attention for 50 Years Lorraine Rocco

The Years Gone Bye takes you back to a time when . . . · a thong was something you wore on your feet · a blackberry was something you ate · and mini skirts raised eyebrows · Elvis was drafted into the army · Archie called Edith a "dingbat" · and Forrest Gump became a household name · America landed on the moon · divers found the Titanic after 73 years · and the police chased a white Bronco down the LA Freeway These snippets are just a few threads of the thousands of strands of pop culture and history that weave this book into a tapestry of the last half-century.
