I relate very much with you on this comment.
It's bizarre to me these days to really realize and contemplate how close events like WW2, Kennedy's assassination, the moon landing, Woodstock, etcetera actually all were to my birth.
But as a child and even into my early 20s most of those events felt like practically an eternity away.
It really puts it into perspective when I think about the fact that I moved out of my parents' home and started working full time over 30 years ago...
First saw the Grateful Dead in concert over 30 years ago... They'd already been performing for over 25 years at that point and seemed like such a massive juggernaut that had just sort of always been around.
