Description: "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."--Jacket
