I was able to answer WAY too many of them! ;^)

Love trivia! I was able to answer 16. And I'm a few years shy of 60.

I'm older than 60 but I think I know them all.

Got them all....and enjoyed it.

Cripes, I'm older than dirt....I know these....:22yikes:

I met the man who did the voice of the character with the tablet on his head.(Don't want to give away the answer.) He was a member of our Rotary Club in Escondido CA. He was Dick Beals and he was small enough to be a jockey. Nice guy. Died last year.

A lot of them. Not all though.

Nailed'm, but I'm so old I fart dust.

Had to think hard on some of those!!

caught the last train for the coast the day the music died "

#3 is wrong. It's "Get your kicks in Route 66" The Trix commercial was "Silly Rabbit, Trix are for kids.
#8 the jazz trumpet playing Satchmo was Louis Armstrong. Satchel Paige was a baseball player.
#11 should be draft cards.
#20. The Alka Seltzer kid is "Speedy"

Would you like the rest of them?

mikeandnancy ....you can check memason's 2nd post. He posted the answers last night.

I got all but number 20. I think bras were burned for women's rights, not to protest the war. Right? Or am I having another "senior moment"?
