My first thought was: "I might be able to name one of their songs, but I certainly cannot remember their names!"

Often wonder what the FReepers’ age percentages are. I expect well over 50% of us are in our 70’s and 80’s.
Hey,
Speak for yourself, 50.
80!
so it is 50/50 with the two of us; LOL!
Hmm just wondering why most of those questions would be on a GED exam?
The quality of students now?
However, politically-engaged people tend to run younger. Further, with Deplorables in the open getting doxxed, it's likely we have more young ones here than we think.
The Millenial bashing that's fashionable doesn't help. But neither does "OK, Boomer.."
Almost 72...(as you can tell by my name)
