Got 'em all and knew the American Stuff, plus all the other things the songs talks about like "...Lennon (not Lenin) read a book on Marx...", that "...the joker..." was Lenny Bruce, etc, etc. The only thing I don't remember is "...what was revealed the day the music died"

Does that make me old?

I naturally got them all, including remembering Richie Valens and the Big Bopper, because I am at the perfect age, older than dirt, but pre-Alzheimer's!

I also got them all correct. I also remember the first time I had sex. It was a total disaster. I'm sure glad no one else was there to see it.
