Ah yes, I remember them well!

And I'm glad I went to those places, those cathedrals of heterosexuality, when I was like 15 and 16 because I couldn't possibly have enjoyed them as much as an adult. I think society gets that backwards. An older guy going to places like that, it's like an older guy going to Scandia or Chuck E. Cheese Just... why? How much fun can that be for you? How much fun should that be for you? But a teen getting a superlative thrill out of it- perfectly normal.

Quote:

Psychic Jeane Dixon reportedly predicted a disastrous structural failure or collapse involving the Tower of the Americas (sometimes referred to as the "HemisFair Tower") during the 1968 World's Fair in San Antonio, Texas.

Quote:

eane Dixon became famous as a prominent 20th-century American psychic and astrologer, largely due to her widely publicized 1956 prediction of the 1960 presidential election and the subsequent assassination of John F. Kennedy. Her fame was solidified by a best-selling biography, a syndicated astrology column, and a high-profile clientele, including Nancy Reagan.

Key reasons for her fame include:
The JFK Prediction: In 1956, she told Parade magazine that a blue-eyed Democratic president elected in 1960 would be assassinated or die in office.
Media and Publications: She authored best-selling books (e.g., A Gift of Prophecy: The Phenomenon of Jeane Dixon) and wrote a popular syndicated newspaper column.
Political Connections: Based in Washington, D.C., she was known for advising high-profile figures.
The "Jeane Dixon Effect": She became a household name because people focused on her few correct predictions while overlooking her many incorrect ones (a phenomenon now known as the "Jeane Dixon Effect").
