I can remember hearing the National Anthem before the stations closed for the night.

Wow - thanks for reminding me of that. It's easy to forget stuff like that with stations broadcasting 24 hr a day now.

I also remember the indian-head test pattern that my local station used to put on when they first signed on. How politically incorrect was that?

My mom was telling me how when "I Love Lucy" came on in the 50's she and many others would all go over to the house of the one neighbor on their block who had a TV.

Off topic comment - It seems like rather than encouraging others to learn about and admire their culture(s), indian leaders are trying to bury it through political correctness. We'll end up respecting them into forgetful oblivion.
