The youth don't know anything...
...except that Johnny Unitas played for the Colts (not Unitis page 92) and Oliver North Whitehead commented on the friendliness of dogs and cats, not Alred Noth Whitehead (page 102)
OK Boomer!
NB: I don't usually post comments but this book's condescending attitude towards anyone born after 1950 really irked me whereas most of the time elderly folks' nostalgia does not. I felt the need to defend Boomers, Gen X-ers, Millenials, and even Gen-Z from this spiraling echo chamber of a non-existent, fantastical period of U.S. history.

Fulfilled what the cover said that it was. Nothing more Nothing less

This was enjoyable to pick up and read a few pages; not something that you would read cover to cover as a book. Parts were good; parts were bad; and some just reminded you of things from the past.

We all dread old age, but there are so many humorous books, blogs, comics, etc. that are out there, for all of us to find the humor and help us get through the trials of aging. This book is great. I loved the stories, illustrations, and how it is not condescending. With the COVID hitting everyone, on top of aging, we all need funny in our lives!
