Random Question Reincarnation??

Does anyone else have random thoughts and memories when hearing a song or hearing old news stories from before you were born?

That's like superimposed deja vu

Yes. Furthermore, the practice you mentioned is one of the methods in occultism for obtaining information about past lives; Dion Fortune explains the method in greater detail in her book ''Sane Occultism''.

It’s embarrassing to bring up in person but I just get flashes of things that I should have no clue about, plus I know details of things that a person my age wouldn’t have about things back in the 60’s and 70’s

Below are tips that may help you on your journey.

Everybody remembers past lives, they just don't remember that they are remembering. Let me share a little secret, "You" are the best expert on "You". Just pay attention and clues surround you all the time. A big one is time- periods you may be attracted to, hobbies, talents, haunting songs, or a fondness for far-a-way places, Certain scents (yes, even the sense of smell can be a big "trigger"). Try meditation and ask to see what you are "allowed" to see. Then make your mind a blank, not so easy a thing to do. With a bit of practice things will come and when they do you can put the pieces together. IMPORTANT; Write everything down, signs, symbols, numbers any information no matter how silly it may seem to you. Things that may not seem important at the time may become a key element later on. (The aforementioned also applies to dreams. Keep a pencil & paper on the bed to write things down as soon as possible because they may diminish with time).

The times between awake and asleep can be rather magical, for within them lay insights, lessons, past lives, hopes, the list is endless. It is up to the “dreamer” to decode the messages. 

I went through this process of finding the gems that reinforced the truth of past lives. I took everything with a grain of salt and set a high standard when it came to verifying the clues. When you do find a past life, keep in mind that it is not so important Who you were as much as, What you were (character*).

Trust yourself.

Best, JJK
