1975

Since Carol and I were both born in 1975 (She on the first of January, and I on the 8th); I thought some facts from that year would be fun to post.

I made a CD with some popular songs from that year, including:
Fire - Ohio Players
Fame - David Bowie
Rhinestone Cowboy - Glenn Campbell
S.O.S. - Abba
Thank God I'm a Country Boy - John Denver

The top two movies of 1975 were Jaws and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Production began of the first Star Wars movie as well.

Ford was presedent, and it was the year of the Watergate scandal.

In technology terms, the Altair 8800 is released, sparking the era of the microcomputer, and in a letter from Bill Gates to Paul Allen, the name "Micro-soft" is used for the first time.

Tiger Woods was born in 75, along with Matt Hasselbeck, Tiki Barber, Drew Barrymore, Jack White, Floyd Landis, Juan Pablo Montoya, and others ;-)

Finally, as indicated by this Ford advertisement, 1975 was certainly NOT the best year of the Mustang!

Did you know that you share your birth date with the aforementioned David Bowie?

Also... come on, the only sweet ride to come out of 1975 was the AMC PACER!
