SECTION FIVE: BOOMER Facts and Data
    

       Who was the only American artist to have
       a #1 hit in Britain in 1964? (answer below)

       This question is one of 554 in the great book "Pure Gold Rock &
       Roll Trivia Questions" by Ron Foster. It's not available in 
       stores but you can order it by mail. Visit Ron Foster's
       Web page for ordering information. 
               
       The answer is Roy Orbison. Roy made it to the 
       top spot with "It's Over" and "Oh, Pretty Woman" that year. 
       In fact, Roy was the only American to achieve that feat 
       for 68 weeks, beginning in August of 1963 and running 
       through February of 1965. 

        John Denver's Plane went down in the ocean at Monterey Bay 
        on October 11, 1997.

We get lots of emails asking for help in student and general research
about boomers, genX's and the generation gaps etc.

We tried to give the best answers as we can see fit but sometimes
we will point people to the more scientific source of data.
Until Jeri gets her Ph.D, sometimes .. in the next few years, she
felt that she is only considered herself as a Knowledge Facilitator 
and not yet, a Knowledge Provider.

In the meantime we will provide sources to the other qualified
web sites.   Here is one with extensive Poll Data that will give
insight into Baby Boomers values and the outlook on health care, 
retirement.
