The subject line says “the,” not “a.” Given your explanation, that makes the original subject line completely wrong, because it implies that he believes that the 1965 blackout was the biggest of all. That is completely myopic because it implies that this event from his past is so significant, that no other event could possibly overshadow it in the popular consciousness. Boomer nostalgia is more important than everyone else’s nostalgia. |
