101 Libri GmbH 101 Things Only Men Born in 1956 Remember

You were born the year the Interstate Highway System was signed into law. You got your driver's license about a year before the gas lines started.Being born in 1956 put you at a very specific angle to the American century - old enough to remember a downtown that was still the center of a town, young enough to have spent your teenage Saturdays in the mall that replaced it.This book follows your actual timeline: four years old at Kennedy's election, seven that weekend in November 1963, thirteen the night of the moon landing, sixteen behind the wheel, eighteen the summer a president resigned.Inside this book you'll discover: - The precise mechanics of things you did a thousand times and never once described - the coin taped to the tonearm, the sugar cube in the school gymnasium, the ker-chunk of an eight-track changing programs mid-song- Why the radio station from four states away only came in after dark, and what that meant to a boy in a small town at eleven at night- 101 fully entries covering childhood, school, the neighborhood, television, music, sports, cars, first jobs, dating, and life before smartphones- A personal timeline placing 27 confirmed historical events beside your exact age at each one- 50 open-ended questions built to be answered out loud - to a wife, a brother, a son, a grandchildThis book is for: - People, Men born in 1956 turning 70 - and the families looking for a gift that isn't another coffee mug- Anyone who learned to drive on a column shift and remembers what a clutch cost him- Readers who want history told through ordinary detail rather than headlines- Sons and daughters who want their father to start talkingThe 50 conversation questions turn this from something read alone into something shared.
