      I was clowning around (no way!!!) on another forum this week, and used LSMFT.

      Those were too easy, BTW.

      You need tough ones like what happened the week before the Kent State Massacre, that incited students? What month and year was that? What was the name of the main group that incited students on campuses, and what campus building did they target?

            Being bad with names, I couldn't answer a couple of them, but the only one I didn't know (if you see the difference) was the LS/MFT one. I recognized the phrase when I saw the answer, but I don't remember ever seeing it represented by just the first letters that way.

            And for some reason I always think of "The Day the Music Died" as "the day the Big Bopper and those guys got killed in that plane wreck." I know Buddy Holly was there, but for some reason the Big Bopper made a bigger impression on my childhood self (technically, I wasn't yet born when it actually happened...).

                I got 13 right but some of them were before my time (I'm 54). I never heard LS/MFT but I do remember "I'd rather fight than switch".
