I don’t know much about what was going on in the world at that time. I was quite young, you see…
Anyhow, I do know that:
Led Zeppelin released their fourth album (Yes, the one with “Stairway to Heaven” on it).
The Doors released their L.A. Woman album.
Rolling Stones released their Sticky Fingers album.
I also know the U.S. was still involved in the Vietnam War.
The only other thing I know is that I was very ill when I was born.
I was born with a condition called pyloric stenosis. Basically, food cannot enter the small intestine. From what little I know, the mortality rate around the time of my birth was low, but I was small for a newborn and the surgery was difficult on me.
That said, I clearly made it through and the only after effect was the pretty sizeable scar I have below my chest down to my abdomen.
All things considered, I’d call that an acceptable trade off.
