Spoiler: My list:

Little Rock: Something happened at Little Rock I assume?
Pasternak: No idea
Mickey Mantle: Still no idea
Kerouac: No idea. Starting off strong
Sputnik: The first human satellite achieves orbit and orbits the earth
Chou En-Lai: Yeah no idea
Bridge On The River Kwai: Guessing the movie came out then?
Lebanon: Not sure. I knew where it is, but not what this is referring to
Charles de Gaulle: I remember hen was a French leader, but not really who he is and what this is about
California baseball: Is it different than non California baseball?
Starkweather Homicide: Don't know this either
Children of Thalidomide...: I believe that this is about a case of prevalent birth defects caused by a medication the expecting mothers took? Maybe?

Buddy Holly: A music dude. He also died probably around this time I think?
Ben-Hur: What or who is that
Space Monkey: I guess referring to one of the Albert apes? Possibly the trip of the first Albert that achieved orbit? Who was I think the 10th Albert or so at least
Mafia: Guess the Mafia got more common or something
Hula Hoops: They either were invented, became popular, or both
Castro,: He became leader of Cuba, and he ruled during the Bay of Pigs Invasion.
Edsel is a no-go: I guess Edsel turned out to be lame. Now if only I knew who he was
U-2: An American U-2 spy plane is shot down over Soviet territory, leading to a deterioration of diplomatic trust between the 2 superpowers. And there wasn't much to start with
Syngman Rhee: Sounds familiar but don't know
payola:
Kennedy: Kennedy gets elected? I'm thinking that the events in the first two parts were referring to things later than I was thinking. I thought the song began in late 60s early 70s butt Kennedy was elected in the early 70s. Oops
Chubby Checker: huh?
Psycho: Did the show American psycho start or something? Idk
Belgians in the Congo: Belgians try to maintain their hold on the Congo area. This might have been the last major colonized portion of Africa, though colonial powers do hold spheres of influence still.
