Nice Lunch diversion. Thank you. I'm not considered a Baby Boomer, mid generation x. I got 14 correct but I'm not sure what that means. And I'm surprised I got the Bob Dylan one wrong. The others, I'm not surprised. I didn't answer 3 of them because I didn't have a clue. Thank you again for posting.

I'm right at the end of the boomers and probably identify more with Gen X so I've actually only "experienced" less than half of these first hand. Thanks to my interest in trivia and way too much time in front of theTV I was younger though I was able to ace it.

Hope everyone enjoys and/or learns something from it!
