1960 TO 1969



     I am John F. Kennedy as
President.
   I am a civil right activist
100 percent.

   I am Woodstock rock n
Roll festival.
   I am first man on the moon
Unforgettable.

   I am Andy Warhol 15 minutes
Of fame.
   I am Martin Luther King shot
Down in flames.

   I am President Kennedy gets
Assassinated.
   I am the Cuba missile crisis
Activated.

   I am Walmart opens
It's Door.
   I am we enter
Vietnam War.

   I am the Beatles I want to  
Hold your hand.
   I am discrimination spreads
Through the land.

   I am the NFL's first Super
Bowl.
   I am Ceasar Chavez reaching
His goal.

   I am the Peace Corp  
Uncovered.
   I am Miranda rights
Discovered.

   I am Motown records
With Shop around.
   I am the Beach Boys
With a surf sound.

   I am at the Apollo with
Marvin Gaye.
   I am Del Shannon singing
Runaway.

   I am a hit with please
Mr. Postman.
   I am Sgt Pepper's lonely
Heart club band.
