(and location - NYC)

While occasionally I wish I was a few years younger (bc the years are pasing) say 68 instead of 72...
But then if I didn't have an older sibling; like my sister who's 68 who had(s) me... or even with our parents

I probably wouldn't have been cogent of JFK, maybe even Sen Robert F Kennedy, MLK.

Music being central to me.
Might not have gotten into The Beatles at the USA start, I got to see them via a friend or be introduced to The Who(!) by a cousin, and seeing thrm play Tommy at tbe Filmore East. Maybe even missing their Who's Next Tour (live Pure and Easy) And all so many bands & performers from '64, '65 onward!
Wouldn't have gotten to one gigantic from 10AM till 11PMish concert at the old Shea Stadium to raise $$ for the anti-Vietnam War candidates. John Sebastion, Richie Havens, The Rascels, James Gang, Poco, Paul Simon, a bunch more, then Janis Joplin, Credence Clearwater closing.

(? 2nd wave) Feminists!

This what comes to my mind immediately.
