I can remember not remembering the 60's. I remembered not to rememeber the 60'...or the early 70's either! I remembered the 60's for awhile...but then I forgot I remembered it. I remember all of the 60's!...but I forgot where I put it. Man, all this remembering is a real drag! ...what a drag, kind of a drag. (my memory of the 60's is actually very vivid...my 60's didn't start happening until about '69-'70 or so...)
