WW3

Ok I was kinda off but technically right. In Star Trek WW3 starts in 2026 (That is just 4 years away!!!) and ends in 2053. I said 2050 so I am counting that as being correct.

George Jetson

Apparently George Jetson was born on July 31, 2022.

Radiohead

The song is not called “You do it to yourself” it is called “Just”. It was released in 1995 on their album The Bends. If you don’t know this song you have missed out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIFLtNYI3Ls

Also here is “Paranoid Android” off of OK Computer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHiGbolFFGw
