Hey, if I make it to 99 years old, you can joke about my death all you want! People who make it to that ripe age should be thankful as not many can say the same.

At my age, it is rare to hear about living celebrities that were before my time but Mitch Miller is definitely one of them. I'm almost 50 years old and I have no idea who he was but obviously he was famous at one time. Must have been before 1970.

We used to sing along with him. That was back when families watched TV together, ate sitting down at a dinner table and engaged in a lot of other abnormal behaviors.

I don't want to appear to be the smart a**, but yep, things did occur before 1970. In this case, the 1950s, a glorious time to have lived, what with a country that was proud of itself and which had music that actually (ACTUALLY) had melodies. Imagine that!

Francis Gary Powers was also before 1970. What gives there?
