Chances are, Halloween was your favorite. Maybe you liked gazing at Clint Eastwood (what a hunk!) or Cheryl Ladd. Jane Fonda and Robert Red- ford were popular, too. Every generation loves music. At CC, Supertramp ' s Breakfast in America was the most popular al- bum, Styx was the most popular group, and Sad Eyes was the most popular song.
