I missed three! I just heard a while back that Don MacLean's song was about Buddy Holly but I had forgotten. I didn't know that way back when! I almost had Sputnik right. I counted it right because it was so close. They also burned flags during the Vietnam war and I forgot about the draft cards. My mind just went blank on Red Skeleton's hobo's name. We watched him all the time!!!
