The Years Gone Bye takes you back to a time when . . . - a thong was something you wore on your feet - a blackberry was something you ate - and mini skirts raised eyebrows - Elvis was drafted into the army - Archie called Edith a "dingbat" - and Forrest Gump became a household name - America landed on the moon - divers found the Titanic after 73 years - and the police chased a white Bronco down the LA Freeway These snippets are just a few threads of the thousands of strands of pop culture and history that weave this book into a tapestry of the last half-century.
