All the Famous Rock Stars Were Born in the 1940s... 10 years older than me...

 

World War II (1939-1945) was a global conflict between the Allies and the Axis powers, resulting in the deaths of 50–85 million people: 

So while the men were away at World War 2... The women were busy getting pregnant by The Men Who Were NOT at War and then giving birth to rockstars... There's a song in "Tommy" by The Who about his mother cheating on his father... Because the father was a way at War... And that was the cause of Tommy being deaf dumb and blind... The adult said you didn't see nothing!

So if you're ever given the opportunity to go to war... Refuse... And stay home and kiss the girls that are lonely for their husbands off fighting and dying for Mother Russia... Or England or the USA...

AI Overview:
According to available data, the majority of Americans who served in Vietnam were volunteers, with estimates suggesting that roughly two-thirds of the soldiers who fought in Vietnam were volunteers, meaning a significant portion of the 2.7 million American service members in Vietnam were not drafted but chose to enlist.

Apparently, the brainwashing system MK Ultra was effective... Only a f*cking idiot would voluntarily go to Vietnam... Or someone who's mind was being controlled...

When I was working at System Industries in Santa Clara, California (1976) the owner of the company (Dr. Edwin Zschau) went to Japan to learn how to run a business.

They were doing very well in comparison to USA companies and there was a lot of interest in learning why. So we adopted many oriental concepts and implemented them in our business. One thing was that we had a company song. We had a birthday meeting every month and we would all sing the company song.

Lyrics:
"System, System Industries, Here we go, Hand in hand.
Solving Data Mysteries for the betterment of man."

Another thing we did was take a two hour lunch so we could exercise. I swam at the Santa Clara International Swim center with my wife. She was working the Graveyard shift at National Semi-conductor so we met twice a day. Lunch and evenings.
We had many people from foreign countries working there. When Dr. Zschau went to Japan he hired many Japanese people. Immigrants made our company better. That was a universal fact of life about Silicon Valley... The brightest engineers worldwide came here for work. I had a neighbor from Nicaragua who came to work at IBM. And another Engineer I knew came from Germany at the end of WW2 to work at Lockheed. Very Common.

Another time in Santa Clara we partticipated in a "Car Rally". Everyone would meet at a starting location then we were given a series of clues as to where to go next. One clue was "Go to a street named for a part time orchestra leader." We were supposed to figure out the puzzle and navagate to checkpoints. The answer to that clue was "Semi-conductor Blvd"... semi meaning part time and conductor is the leader of an orchestra. This was all part of the California Car Culture.
