More DescriptionThis book is about if most things forevermore remained the same as they did throughout the 1980's and early 1990's.
This book also takes place in a parallel universe, where my parents are much closer to my Father's family instead of my Mother's, we move into another house on a lot of property together under one roof with my paternal grandmother, We continue to drive vehicles such as Full-Size Station Wagons, Pickup Trucks, Suburbans, Full-Size Vans, Volkswagens, Audis, and Mercedes-Benzs.
Moreover, this book is not about being tolerant of the latest automotive trends, the latest fashion trends, the latest men's & women's hairstyles, life in the sports world, life in the 21st century, the modernization of NASCAR, the egotistic drivers and egocentric ways of other sanctions of automobile racing such as Indy Car and Formula 1; and this book also about not being tolerant of people with tattoos.
This book is a wielding of Alternate History. They are based on fact and are not entirely conjectural, and they are a representation of what could have happened in reality; and what should have happened in reality.
Storer Broadcasting is still in business, Storer still owns and operates WJBK-TV in Detroit, along with their Television Stations in Cleveland, Atlanta, and in Milwaukee; most of Storer's Television Stations (including WJBK-TV, and excluding WSBK-TV in Boston) are still affiliated with CBS; and ABC still owns and operates WXYZ-AM and TV, and WRIF-FM.
There are also studies of Backcasting in this series of Early Life And Continuous Livelihood books, tracing how things came to be the way they are in reality. For instance-how the ex-Storer stations changed from being CBS to FOX affiliates, how the FOX Broadcasting Company ever came into being, how and why FOX had outbid CBS in an upset for the NFL NFC rights in 1993, how and why CBS had lost the rights to the NBA to NBC in 1989 after having held them for nearly 20 consecutive years since 1972, and NBC's contractual rights taking place at the beginning of the 1990-1991 NBA season; how NBC-over the course of the late 1990's and the early 2000's, would lose the NFL NFC rights and the rights to the NBA; how cable and satellite television came into being the dominant form of television in lieu of terrestrial television and the Big 3 Television and Radio networks (CBS, ABC, and NBC) forevermore being the dominant form of television, how automotive trends such as conventional Full-Size, Body-On Frame Passenger Cars had disappeared; how and why Station Wagons as a whole had disappeared, why Conversion Vans and Conversion Suburbans, along with the Conversion Vehicle sub-branch of the RV industry have disappeared as a whole, why other automotive trends such as center-band two-tone paint schemes and red and blue interior colors have disappeared; why during the latter half of the 20th Century and well into the 21st Century-homes began to be built far more cheaply then say, as recently as the 1980's and earlier; and why home trends such as wood paneling, wallpaper, and doweling posts have disappeared.
