Robert de Niro's Waiting by Bananarama was released as a single 40 years ago, 39 years after the death of Hitler.

I usually hate these sorts of meme things on social media, but it definitely has taken some of my nostalgia about my childhood years and put it into a clearer perspective.

We're as far away in time from the 1990s as the 1990s were to the 1960s. I was a teen/young adult in the 90s and the 60s seemed ancient to me.

Playing the game “what am I half as old as?” can be illuminating.
President Joe Biden is half as old as 1860, the *pre*-Civil-War tensions growing between North/Abolitionists and South/slaveowners.
