Not sure about this, FC. It doesn't mention either of us as significant births by name, for one

Kudos to mentioning The Eagles and Pink Floyd, though.

wow does it actually end...sorry I gave up after about 10 minutes when it started randomly jumping from when I was 15 then 9 then 8 then 15 again then back to 1961.

What I remember it listing would be...

Bay of Pigs
101 Dalmations top selling movie
West side Story winning the Best Film Oscar
Best Actor was Maximillian Schell for Judgement At Nuremberg
Invention of optical discs
Vietnam War still going on
Algeria war ending
B-52 with 2 nukes crashed in N. Carolina
Dylan hitchhiking to New York
George Blake gets 42 years for spying

So it's been pretty much downhill ever since then
