Guesses for new set: 71. Clarence, I had an uncle named Clarence, but everybody called him Pete 72. I was pretty young then and still playing with dolls. It was after 1955 (we emigrated to AUSTRALIA) and before 1964 (Beatles emerged on Ed Sullivan), So I will go with the doll thing and say 1959. 73. WWII, I guess. I read it, but don't have a specific recall about the war, because the rest of it was so shocking. 74. Rob Roy, have been to Scotland 75. Nitrogen - if you play trivia, you pretty much have to memorize the first 8 76. Mozart 77. tuna 78. Todd Bridges 79. body 80. Paris, have walked over that bridge once or twice . . .

In my and Dean's defense, I am guessing we were both thinking of sandwich fillings that came in tins, which were tuna, sardines, potted meat, and of those tuna was the best guess, absent any other context, such as musical instruments. But, yes, it is pretty funny.

Guesses for new set: 7. Well, let's see -I was around 15 when my 13 year old brother discovered pop music and began prattling on about the genius of Berry Gordy, so let's say Motown was fairly well established by then, so i will go with 1959 8. UFO's 9. Daniel Day Lewis 10. They were big, big, big, so let's go with 24, Baby Love. OH!!! But this could be a trick question, and somebody playing gotcha with making a distinction between The Supremes, and Diana Ross and the Supremes. I don't play gotcha games . . .
