4. I don't know. Probably in school doing questionable stuff.

5. This one I remember, I was in my parents' room trying to figure out what was wrong with the TV when I heard this. I ran out telling my mother and she started to cry because she's such a royal watcher.

1. I wasn't born yet. But I love music so I do know James Brown released 'Live at the Apollo' that year!

 2. Still not born yet. But the Beatles broke up. The end of the Flower generation.

 3. Not born yet. But come on was 1977 about anything BUT the release of Star Wars?

 4. In diapers. Mt. St. Helens blew up. New Wave piles dirt on Disco's grave.

 5. Ah, great year. I was finally legal to drink in BC. Gearing up for leaving the folks house and heading to university. The biggest disgrace of the 90s happened in 1997 mind you, the Spice Girls became popular.
