I don't really know if it's a reflection on anyone or anything, but it's crazy to me that the most recent President of the United States who was not alive during the lifetime of Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) was Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865).

- Andrew Johnson (d. 1875)
- Ulysses S. Grant (d. 1885)
- Rutherford B. Hayes (d. 1893)
- James Garfield (d. 1881)
- Chester A. Arthur (d. 1886)
- Grover Cleveland (d. 1908)
- Benjamin Harrison (d. 1901)
- William McKinley (d. 1901)
- Theodore Roosevelt (d. 1919)
- William H. Taft (d. 1930)
- Woodrow Wilson (d. 1924)
- Warren G. Harding (d. 1923)
- Calvin Coolidge (d. 1933)
- Franklin D. Roosevelt (d. 1945)
- Harry Truman (d. 1972)
- Dwight D. Eisenhower (d. 1969)
- John F. Kennedy (d. 1963)
- Lyndon B. Johnson (d. 1973)
- Richard Nixon (d. 1994)
- Gerald R. Ford (d. 2006)
- Jimmy Carter (d. 2024)
- Ronald Reagan (d. 2004)
- George H.W. Bush (d. 2018)
- Bill Clinton (b. 1946)
- George W. Bush (b. 1946)
- Barack Obama (b. 1961)
- Donald J. Trump (b. 1946)
- Joseph R. Biden (b. 1942)

I didn't realize Hoover died in 1964...after JFK.

Three presidents died on July 4: Thomas Jefferson and John Adams - 7/4/1826, and James Monroe - 7/4/1831.

Biden is not alive inside the head. Does that count?

The seldom heard verses:

People seemed to be content
Fifty dollars paid the rent
Freaks were in a circus tent
Those were the days

Take a little Sunday spin
Go to watch the Dodgers win
Have yourself a dandy day
That cost you under a fin

Hair was short, and skirts were long
Kate Smith really sold a song
I don't know just what went wrong
Those were the days

Girls were girls and men were men and freaks were in circus tents.

The funny thing about that song is I highly doubt Archie or Edith's working class families could have afforded a LaSalle automobile.

I remember reading about that. Incredible.

Tippecanoe and Tyler, too.

the closing theme “Remembering You” was originally an instrumental - but Caroll O’Connor liked the tune so much he made up words for it:

And got his name on the song to get half the royalties

The ol' Roddenberry Gambit

Beyond
The rim of the star-light
My love
Is wand’ring in star-flight
I know
He’ll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me.
