It’s good to know all about the things that took place during the year when I was born. I wouldn’t have any idea what movie was popular at that time which I have then watched years later as a kid which is the E.T. What’s really weird about it was Ozzy Osbourne who took a bite of a bat’s head. I didn’t realized he was all that strange ever since. I just happen to see on the television the biography of his family last week. Anyway, CNN is just as old as me. That’s good news.
