I'd have gotten the Teri Hatcher reference, as I'm a big fan of RDA and Jack and MacGyver, enough to know she was on the show and RDA used to date her.

But thanks for making this clear to me--and I even guessed it, I just wasn't at all sure.

I loved the song reference, too. That was "my time" as I graduated from high school in 1969, so I felt for Jack when he said to Michael "Trust me, this is a great time" only to hear Michael had been drafted. A great time in some ways, terrible in others.

I still have the 45 of that song. :-) I was class of '72, and I think my class prety much escaped the draft. Or at least never made it overseas.

My class, and those before me, did not escape. We were a small school--my class, with 60 kids, was the largest ever (baby boomers). Two boys I'd known well, a year and two years older than I, were killed in Viet Nam. Others served and came back mentally harmed.

Still, that was also the moon shot era, a great accomplishment, so it was the best of times, the worst of times.
