I'll never forget the first snowfall of 1968. My dad came home with a brand new sled and was so excited to take us sledding for the first time. We bundled up and he pulled us on the sled to the little hill nearby. It was evening and the snow sparkled as it fell. Everyone was out there sledding that night. All of the parents were as excited as the kids. It's one of my favorite memories 😊
@@pslm23 Our first sled was the big Flexible Flyer with the back attachment so my dad could pull my brother & I. It was nice having young parents. He took as much delight in us sledding, skiing & skating as we grew up. ❄️
It was a great time to be a kid.I wish today's entertainment was a fraction as good as back then.Today's youth are missing so much,I especially miss variety shows and anthologies.My mother used to get all upset over girls wearing long straight hair.She also thought it was terrible for them to wear nylon hose to school.
I feel sorry for the kids today. Most I know just sit inside all day playing video games, and parents are afraid to even let them play outside or get dirty. Crazy times.
The first 12 years of my life we had a lake in our back yard to swim in the summer and ice skate in the winter. I had 8 siblings, 6 of them older. We moved five miles with a state forest with a brook across the road . When we moved I met a girl at the new school I went to in 7th grade, this was in 1965. She is sitting next to me now.
I was born in the early 60's. I remember living with my grandma, walking to school by myself, the two dogs I had, the snow in the winter coming up about 2 feet, flooding the street in spring, and horny toads, monarch butterflies, and giant grasshoppers all coming out in the spring/summer. I remember more of the 60's than I do the past 20 years.
I was born in the early 60s also and correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't "Tang" a 70s thing? I saw a Schwinn Orange Crate in mint condition the other day locked up at a bike rack and I almost sh*t myself.
Yep born in 62 myself. Remember those monarch butterflies as a kid. they where everywhere try find 1 now a days . The cabbage butterflies to, yellow or white .
I was born in '49 and have always felt and continue to feel that the 60s was the best decade ever. The cars and the music was but a small part of it. Oh to relive those better simpler times.
This is such a comforting channel. I can imagine watching our large brown 25" console tv, lying on the shag carpet---green yellow, mind you---in a room surrounded by pine paneling, and my dad smoking back on the recliner and having a whisky and coke. Every night was just an incredible, family experience, that we all miss and crave. I can still smell it. Thank you for snapping us back to that simple time, even for a few moments. (I HATED that smoke by the way!!!!... but , I miss my dad's smoke...)
😮 didn't love my dad's piano playing either. But I do miss it. I read that just because you miss something, doesn't mean you necessarily want it back. My best friend's mom smoked a lot. I miss that too, though it was fairly offensive.😮
When I go into stores I'm nice to the people working there and I think many are surprised by it. But I do know that there's almost absolutely no more Merry Christmas, Happy New Year any longer exchange between customers and workers.
@vicepresidentmikepence889 You again? You must mean civil rights and all the black American entertainment and families staying together in the black community. Oh yeah, pure evil everybody was pure evil to black people. If you believe that I have a beach house to sell you in Iran. 🇮🇷
Born in the late 50s, remember all the great TV shows....but growing up in Southern California; Orange County, it was all about the beaches....Beach Boys and all that went along with it. Good times, some of it ruined by life/family changing events going on in Vietnam, everyone seemed to have family involved; including us...but all in all an incredibly great time to be a kid. We made our own fun and were never without. Times change.
In the 1960's, my family had a VW bug. Immediately behind the rear seats was an open compartment (probably meant for storage). As a little kid, I enjoyed riding there. Nobody wore seat belts, as far as I knew. The "lucky" families had station wagons. Whenever I went out (like to the movies) with my friends, it was a TREAT for all of us to ride in the back of their parents' wagon, where we could easily fit 4-6 of us!
My folks had a Beetle, and managed to cram 8 little kids in that thing to go all the way to the beach. 😆😁🤑 They were in that back storage compartment, and up front on the floor next to Mom.
I learned to drive on my family's 1965 VW bug. Both of my parents worked outside the home. ( Mom was a supervisor at a factory and got paid less than the men she supervised due to her gender). So we also had a station wagon for our many road trips so Dad could get away from the stress of working in downtown Los Angeles. My little brother and I would sit in the rear facing seat in the back and wave to the cars behind us or use the arm pump to get semi trucks to blow their horns. One time may brother fell asleep on that seat so I went to the seat in front of it. We stopped at a gas station in the middle of nowhere to fuel up and use the restroom. We took off and got about 2 hours down the road when I realized my little brother wasn't there. He had gotten out to use the restroom but nobody saw him. The gas station attendants were panicked (no cell phones back then). Dad called them from. A payphone using the yellow pages directory in the phone booth. Found out he was safe and they gave him snacks and soda. He was 6 years old. I think the experience changed him.
@@earlt.7573 Crazy! One of my Dads work cars was a VW station wagon. It had cream vinyl seats & they were an orange clay color from the job he worked on for 2 years. That car was never the same 😆
LOL 😂, me and my 2 older brothers wore winter wool hats to bed trying to keep out hair flat as it would just go over . Now im bald and shave it all off and i don't mind .😂 And seat belts, i don't go anywhere without it buckled up. Batman was watched across the street on my friends color TV. Catwoman was my favorite 😍.
I remember Flip Wilson.His “Devil Made Me Do It”and “Here Comes The Judge”.Loved Get Smart and Wild Wild West and their opening music.I remember girls wearing white GoGo Boots,Chain belts and Mini dresses and skirts.Sea Monkeys🤣I was raised and grew up in Public housings so the culture was a little different back than compared to now.Quija Boards still NOPE to this day.Love this channel.
@@sonyafox3271My Mom loved the Geraldine character.. I truly miss those variety shows.. Like Dean Martin,Sonny & Cher,Carol Burnett all the wonderful Christmas Specials
Another fun thing that came out of the spy genre was one of my favorite games my sister had! Time Bomb by Milton Bradley! You would wind the "fuze" on top and as it ticked you tossed it around like hot potato! The person who lost the game would be holding it when a loud POP!! went off, signifying the "explosion"! Haha!
I had the mumps for two weeks and I was home from school..... got to watch tv all day and all night. Yeah I felt bad but have fond memories of that time....😮😮
I was born in 1940, was a teen in the fifties and an adult in the sixties. They were all fantastic decades for me. And by the way, riding on the shelf under the back window was popular in the forties. It was my favorite spot in the car.
You are right, I was born in 1961, best of times. The 40s, 50s and 60s were the best eras to be a kid. The music was groovy and so were the movies, everything in my opinion was GREAT! I'd go back if I could, wink.
My dad was a great driver. He taught me how to double clutch, get out of spins, start on hills (stick shift of course) and other neat tips. I still drive and my only limitation is that I don't drive in the rain after dark because my eyes don't accommodate as well as when I was younger.@@samanthab1923
I remember the 1960's, almost all my late parents favorite shows like the Hawaii - 5 0, James Bond, I Spy, Mission Impossible, Man From U.N.C.L.E., Danny Kaye Show, Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, Star Trek, Lost In Space, Wild Wild West, Get Smart, The Cat, much more.
I laid in the window, and also on the back floor (it was so warm and "rumbly" on a trip!). Got my deviated septum as a child when Dad rolled our car to avoid a drunk driver: there were no seat belts, so I got tossed around, broke my nose, and never got it set right.
HaHa . i read that as " my drunk dad rolled his car to avoid a sober driver " . im cynical like that . im a 65 yr old man with a crooked nose too . now i look at it like " yea MF , try to straighten it then " .
I remember being a little kid watching the news and seeing updates about the Vietnam War on a nightly basis. As a small child I didn’t understand what was going on and was frightened seeing those news segments.
Born in 62' and I have a faint memory of watching the Vietnam war on T.V., too. War didn't make any sense back then and still doesn't. Thank God the Government abolished the draft before I turned 18 in 1980. I worried a lot about being drafted when I was young. I feel bad for those young people who sacrificed their life in Vietnam.
@@stephendacey8761I was born in ‘64 and felt the same. I remember seeing black and white broadcasts of Vietnam and having no idea what was going on. When the US invaded Grenada I was worried.
@@MasterMalrubius I had a classmate of mine die in the suicide bombing in October of 1983. He was a marine and died alongside 241 other military men. I went to the funeral and saw many of my fellow classmates at the funeral. Many of the girls who rejected him were their and had tears running down their faces. The kid lived a very tough life, especially when his parents were murdered in front of him and his little sister, when they were very young. He and his sister were adopted into a good family and changed their name. His family was close to my mine.
@@elviscobb5922 Thanks for responding. I hope so. He lived a tough life, especially with the trauma of having his parents murdered in front of him and his sister. He got adopted by a Christian family, but you could tell that he was struggling mentally. A lot of my classmates did show up at the funeral. He died at only 21. His name was Michael Devlin (it was Harry Tubbs, but he changed his name after being adopted).
Columbia Record club with 13 albums for a penny was a highlight of the 60's. It was cheaper than going to the record store, but it did take a little patience. It was how I discovered Jimmy Hendrix and Janis Joplin.
1960s had the best television shows: Combat, Voyage to the bottom of the sea, The Rat Patrol, Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock, Outer Limits, The Munsters, Dragnet, Star Trek, The Green Hornet, F Troop, Get Smart, Candid Camera, Gomer Pyle, The Rifleman, Time Tunnel, Mr. Ed the talking horse, I dream of Jeanie, The Man from Uncle, Top Cat, My Favorite Martian, Car 54 where are you, Batman, Hogans Heroes, The Invaders, Twelve O'Clock High, The Fugitive, Beverly Hillbillies, Flipper, Lets Make A Deal, Green Acres, The Mod Squad, ETC.
Mutual Of Omaha's Wild Kingdom with Marlon Perkins was a must watch if you were an animal lover. Marlon educated kids about wildlife from all over the world.
I wish they had Variety Shows on now like that hey did in the late 60's & 70's... My Mom & I always looked forward to watching Sonny & Cher,we loved all her beautiful fashion she wore!! Other shows we watch were of course Ed Sullivan on Sunday evenings,Dean Martin,Laugh-In,Carol Burnett & Bob Hope specials along with all the Christmas specials
This was great. Remember all of this. Would like to see Rowan & Martins Laugh in again. Never wore the vinyl clothing, but minnie skirts, boots...oh yes.
I,was born in 1957,and I grew up in the 1960's. I wasn't Guilty about any wrong doings. But, in the late 1960's and early 1970's, and I still remember the HIPPIE STYLE WHEN MEN,WORELONG HAIR.AND DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE PEACE SYMBOL FROM BACK IN THE DAY. 6:08
@freedomrings1420 I loved that peace sign, I have two coffee mugs, one with an actual peace sign and one that just says peace. I lived through the 60s and that has stuck with me my entire life.
Tiki culture: Here in Queensland Australia, the Tiki Culture boom coincided with the growth spurt and development of our Surfers Paradise, hence a lot of the motels from that time had this trend, some were Tiki Village, Tahitian Sun, Coconut Grove etc. Yes and Tiki bars were popular in homes here also.
You mentioned, "Lost in Space" and "Star Trek" but what about, "The Outer Limits". That was my all time favorite show of the 60s. Such great episodes and advanced story lines and score by Dominic Frontier. "Twilight Zone", as well! These shows are still very popular!
@@Donna-zc9ii No. That might have been Chiller Theater. Six fingered had? Way Out had Dahl smoking a cigarette introducing the story in a creepy manner. It had an episode where a man is ill. He brow beats his wife for smoking, anong other things. He is dying so she thinks she's rid of him. He tells her the doctors have a way to keep his brain alive, so no. He dies. His brain in in a clear tank of fluid and his eye is kept separate. She gets her revenge by blowing smoke in the eye. He can't speak, only react on an oscilloscope.
@hewitc OK. I guess I'm another one because I sure don't remember that. I think I would have been 11, 12, or 13 at that time, so I seem to remember many of those shows. My favorite is still Twilight Zone. I just watched two days of them over New Years weekend, and I actually saw a few I'd never seen before😊
You could have included the dance shows that all teenagers had to watch: Shindig, Hullabaloo, and of course American Bandstand in the afternoon. John Waters based his movie 'Hairspray' on these once-popular shows.
In 1964, when I was 19, I moved to L.A. to get into showbusiness. I was criticized by my mom's family for leaving home. My mom was criticized for letting me go. They told her she was foolish because she'd never know what I was doing. That generation was SO illiterate about what was going on in life at the time. They hated Rock and Roll, hated the Beatles, and thought all the Students at Berkeley should go to jail, and any guy that had long hair was a hippie or queer. It was pretty idiotic! All I know was that my parents supported me and my choices.I was lucky.
I only got to see the Beatles on Ed Sullivan twice. they were on 4 times. Someone was on the radio saying long hair was bad so my parents had an argument about letting me see them. George Washington had longer hair
I absolutely remember camping out in the back windshield, albeit a little over a decade later. My dad had a Pontiac-something (don’t remember the model), and that thing was an absolute land barge. I also remember curling up in the foot well in the back seat and taking naps when we were on road trips! 😊
Let's not forget spending all Saturday morning watching cartoons that weren't just commercials (except in baseball season, when -- on the west coast -- at 10am we tuned in to Curt Gowdy and Tony Kubek for the "Game of the Week"). Great cartoons back then, besides the still-popular Looney Tunes: Atom Ant, Secret Squirrel, Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, Squidly Diddly, and all the other Hanna Barbera greats!
Another thing I've noticed about back then and now as far as the TV goes, the seasons of shows lasted up around 9 months, and the cast and crew took a 2 to 3 month break. Now, we only get a max of 3 month of a season, and they take off a whole year or more. What's worse is, we don't get the bang for our buck. Back then, a station could make plenty of money just by showing commercials and it was all free to us. Now, we not only have to watch even more commercials, but we also have to pay a high price each month to even get the shows through a cable company. And, it seems like the stations are always getting in a fight with the cable companies, and the stations always want more and more money. What ever happened to being able to operate on ad revenue?
Being a kid in the 60s was great riding bikes (no helmets) playing baseball swimming at the community pool roller rinks getting ice cream at the Dairy Queen walking your best girl to class. No cell phones no video games no dvds going to the movies with your friends yeah I’m glad i grew up in the 60s
Something missing in the comments was the TV show Mission: Impossible. Even today, I think the theme song is instantly recognizable by almost everybody. (Yes, I know that the Tom Cruise movies helped that along). They had such cool gadgets that just seemed so amazing to me as a 10-15 year old. Nowadays, new gadgets seem to proliferate on a daily basis, and it is hard to keep up.
O yeah, laying in the back window of the car as a kid, we did that all the time. We would climb over the front seat and sit up front with Mom & Dad, and fall asleep up there with the light of the AM dash radio glow. The hood ornaments looked like gunsights on a fighter plane and I'd sight down the hood and line up pretend "targets". The little turn signal 'blinker" lights on the front fenders were fun to watch too. And fiddling with the cigarette lighter in the dash, push it in and wait for it to "POP" back out, and finding out the hard way that it was RED HOT, ha, haaa. A car ride was a real fun time for a kid back then.
A very innovative time. People were not afraid to experiment and have fun. Government was not involved in every aspect of citizens’ lives. The news media, by and large, was professional and trustworthy. Doctors still made house calls. Nobody was worried about the weather. If it rained, you put your rain coat on and went about your business anyway. It seems that no one today is happy.
Yes, (lol) I was a car climber when, I was little and, I loved crawling up in the back window area and go to sleep when, we took long trips. I used to get car sick like nothing and, it was a perfect place lay and, help keep the car sickness at bay!
Roaming through the hills with other boys (after school), playing boardgames around the neighborhood, fantasy sword fights with wooden swords & shields, TV & movies, football, and swimming -- all of those things I well remember from growing up in the 60s.
When ya'll said variety shows, I kept waiting for Laugh In. Finally, I said, "Come on, you gotta remember Laugh In". Then you hung it at the end. I hadn't thought about laying in the back window of the car in years. Boy, times were fun back in then.
Loved the Jackie Gleason Show back then with good clean humor. "And away we go" he always said starting the show off (FYI, that is also engraved on his tombstone).
Even though I was born in '66, I remember sleeping on the ledge above the back seat - good times! If my Dad had to hit the brakes in his Fairlane, I had about 3 yards where the front seat was for a cushion.
In 1968 I was 11 years old and we took a family trip from Oklahoma to Ohio. We were a family of 8. My uncle’s family also went with us in their vehicle. There were 6 in their family. On the way to Ohio our car broke down in a Stuckey’s parking lot. So we piled into our uncle’s car for the remainder of the trip. 14 people in a car made for 6. Did I mention it didn’t have a/c? Those were the good old days 😅
I can remember climbing into the little storage area behind the back seat of a Volkswagen Bug and taking a nap there!!! Great to be a kid in the 60’s!!!
As a kid growing up in the 60’s we had a station wagon. Dad would load us up in the back at like 4 am with alot of blankets. We’d wake up later 2 states away. That how we traveled everywhere. My brother and I would always get super bored back there after requisite games and dad would always threaten to lock the brakes if we didn’t settle down. Well. That was just an invitation to go nuts. We did. He did and we went tumbling into the seats. We loved it 😍 😅. As a parent I got pulled over because my own reticent child refused to wear his shoulder seatbelt and the cop had a chat with him 😮.
To be fair, variety shows had a lifespan well into the 70s. Carol Burnett continued, and other shows cropped up like Sonny & Cher and Donny & Marie. Then there were frequent variety show specials from the Carpenters, Olivia Newton-John, just to name a few!
I remember most of this growing up. Never had sea monkeys though. I never climbed on the package shelf but my cousin used too. My first record was the Batman theme on a 45 rpm.
The hippie era had its start in the late 1960s. Along with that came a more nonconformist and questioning young generation, and the start of more widespread experimentation with drugs. Perhaps the 1970s has a stronger association with drug use by young people, but it was there in the late 1960s.
I did all of this except friends ironed each others hair. It's fun to see. The '60s was my prime childhood years, 3/4 -13. I loved the time and wouldn't change much at all.
You left out the "Chinese Fire Drill" where a car load of teens pulled up to a red light, got out and ran around the car, and jumped back in when the light turned green. Often, someone was left behind since the driver pulled off as soon as the green light came on. Kinda like musical chairs. Anyway, if you were a teen in the mid to late 60's, many had only 3 things on their minds. Muscle cars (my first car was a 66 Mustang GT fastback with a 289 HIPO and 4 speed trans.), girls, and partying.
We were in costume, on our way to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, in Denver, in 1978. We were riding in Geiselhart's van, and at a stop light he holler's "Chinese Fire Drill!", and out we went. We circled the Country Squire Station Wagon behind us, A girl and guy in corsets, me in gold boots and a gold bathing suit, a werewolf, and a guy in a cheap gray suit headed toward you. the mom screamed, the dad yelled, "Lock the doors kids", they were freaking out. We circled the car and jumped back in the van and took off. Good Times!
I was born in 1961 and enjoyed everything about it. Best times for me were kid to grow up in . Best music and movies and the world was a MUCH better place to live in. If I had a time machine I would go back to those times.
The back window rear wasn’t a “dash”, it was a “Hat Rack”, made for men and women to put their hats away. They didn’t want them in the seats or floorboard. (I was born in the 1950’s, and I slept on the hat rack😎
There was very little to keep us indoors. Before cable, your tv choices were limited to how many stations your rooftop antenna could pull in. Living in a rural area, we got three, ABC, CBS and NBC, and sometimes only two depending on the weather. Weekday mornings were mostly game shows, afternoons were entirely soap operas, and evenings were when the family watched tv (a lot of westerns and detective shows). But we were very active and that is pretty typical of who our generation still is today. In my 70s I still hike and canoe and horseback ride and ride go karts with the grandkids, things our grandparents certainly didn’t do with us.
I just have one comment about the 1960's. Cars back then had style, they did not all look alike as todays cars do and dealers promoted their high power cars rather than trucks as they do now.
There were 3 CatWomen on Batman ! Julie Newmarr, Eartha Kitt and Lee Meriwether. Which is your favorite? And how could you forget BatGirl? Yvonne Craig was just gorgeous.
We had a quiji board. Never worked as a kid. I remember our whole family getting together to play with it. Then as an adult I spoke to some peeps about some strange things happening with board.
I loved that. ‼️❤️. I graduated in 1965. I kept seeing girls that I thought …she looks just like me. 😊 I had blonde hair I wore in a flip. Short skirts, short shorts, bell bottom pants. And…. Hamburgers were 25 cents. And we would drive up and down Main Street and Sherwood way. For hours. We had several places to go to get a great Burger. My favorite place was Sherwood Lanes…. A bowling alley and great food. They even had eagle brand Lemon Pie ! Great music ! Great food. And great friends oh the great dancing. Thanks for taking me down memory Lane. ❤️❤️❤️
Tiki is still awesome! 🤣 I remember laying on the living room floor with the family watching The Carol Burnett Show and others. Family time is about dead now. I think that is a major reason mental issues are so prevalent these days.
The 60's was a remarkably mobile decade for youth. Fuel was inexpensive and it was possible to drive across the country for less than $35 - and even less if you hitchhiked. Greyhound and Trailways buses reached small town America and had unlimited travel packs for the summer. You could fly cheaply on "stand-by" status. Hopping freight trains offered its own unique adventure. The Route 66 TV series ('60-'64) inspired exploration of the U.S. It had the coolest theme song (thank you Nelson Riddle). A decade of comings and goings is long gone.

being a kid in the 60s was fun, summers were always spent outside but then again so were winter days sled riding 😊
Yes, no matter the weather we were always out.
I often wonder how we stayed out so long in the snow or even ice skating. We skated on ponds so it had to stay below freezing for days on end. ❄️🌬️
I got a nasty cut from one of the metal sled blades, that I think are outlawed today.
I'll never forget the first snowfall of 1968. My dad came home with a brand new sled and was so excited to take us sledding for the first time. We bundled up and he pulled us on the sled to the little hill nearby. It was evening and the snow sparkled as it fell. Everyone was out there sledding that night.

I live close to a park, and all day, all I hear is kids dribbling a basketball. Dribble, Dribble, Dribble!!!!
Yeah they have no idea how much fun we had growing up back then. I know it's a cliche to say but I would go back in a heartbeat.
Too many scared and neurotic people today.
The first 12 years of my life we had a lake in our back yard to swim in the summer and ice skate in the winter. I had 8 siblings, 6 of them older. We moved five miles with a state forest with a brook across the road . When we moved I met a girl at the new school I went to in 7th grade, this was in 1965. She is sitting next to me now.
@@Chris_at_HomeI liked the way you told this story. What a happy life that must be! 😊
I was born in the early 60's. I remember living with my grandma, walking to school by myself, the two dogs I had, the snow in the winter coming up about 2 feet, flooding the street in spring, and horny toads, monarch butterflies, and giant grasshoppers all coming out in the spring/summer. I remember more of the 60's than I do the past 20 years.
It’s funny you say that. The 60’s are way more imprinted on me than the last 20. I always as my son about this snow storm & that hurricane.
I was born in the early 60s also and correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't "Tang" a 70s thing? I saw a Schwinn Orange Crate in mint condition the other day locked up at a bike rack and I almost sh*t myself.
It was late 60's and early 70's.@@tiki_trash

Yep born in 62 myself. Remember those monarch butterflies as a kid. they where everywhere try find 1 now a days . The cabbage butterflies to, yellow or white .

Same here, also a 49er
This is such a comforting channel. I can imagine watching our large brown 25" console tv, lying on the shag carpet---green yellow, mind you---in a room surrounded by pine paneling, and my dad smoking back on the recliner and having a whisky and coke. Every night was just an incredible, family experience, that we all miss and crave. I can still smell it. Thank you for snapping us back to that simple time, even for a few moments. (I HATED that smoke by the way!!!!... but , I miss my dad's smoke...)
😮 didn't love my dad's piano playing either. But I do miss it. I read that just because you miss something, doesn't mean you necessarily want it back. My best friend's mom smoked a lot. I miss that too, though it was fairly offensive.😮
The sixties were the best! Born in 1959, I loved EVERYTHING about my childhood. Recollection Road always makes me long for those days again.
The 1960's was such a great time to grow up. I remenise about those times every day!
Being honest and kind to people? I remember that. 😊
When I go into stores I'm nice to the people working there and I think many are surprised by it. But I do know that there's almost absolutely no more Merry Christmas, Happy New Year any longer exchange between customers and workers.
People weren't honest and kind to black people trying to sit in a lunch counter, or moving into a neighborhood where they weren't wanted
@vicepresidentmikepence889 You again? You must mean civil rights and all the black American entertainment and families staying together in the black community. Oh yeah, pure evil everybody was pure evil to black people. If you believe that I have a beach house to sell you in Iran. 🇮🇷
@@vicepresidentmikepence889You should go hang out with your kind on the democrat station.

Born in the late 50s, remember all the great TV shows....but growing up in Southern California; Orange County, it was all about the beaches....Beach Boys and all that went along with it. Good times, some of it ruined by life/family changing events going on in Vietnam, everyone seemed to have family involved; including us...but all in all an incredibly great time to be a kid. We made our own fun and were never without. Times change.
The Wild Wild West was one of my favorite shows to watch as an adult in the 90s. One of the few excellently produced shows from the 60s.
My dad loved that show, and we kids watched it with him.
Being a kid in the 60’s rivals no other time. I’m guilty and surprised I survived it😂 considering the crazy things we did! The, Best, Times🎉
Agreed! lol
In the 1960's, my family had a VW bug. Immediately behind the rear seats was an open compartment (probably meant for storage). As a little kid, I enjoyed riding there. Nobody wore seat belts, as far as I knew. The "lucky" families had station wagons. Whenever I went out (like to the movies) with my friends, it was a TREAT for all of us to ride in the back of their parents' wagon, where we could easily fit 4-6 of us!
By the 70’s most families on our street had two cars. The big station wagon & dad had the VW Bug for commuting. Remember the gas crisis’?
My folks had a Beetle, and managed to cram 8 little kids in that thing to go all the way to the beach. 😆😁🤑 They were in that back storage compartment, and up front on the floor next to Mom.
I learned to drive on my family's 1965 VW bug. Both of my parents worked outside the home. ( Mom was a supervisor at a factory and got paid less than the men she supervised due to her gender). So we also had a station wagon for our many road trips so Dad could get away from the stress of working in downtown Los Angeles. My little brother and I would sit in the rear facing seat in the back and wave to the cars behind us or use the arm pump to get semi trucks to blow their horns. One time may brother fell asleep on that seat so I went to the seat in front of it. We stopped at a gas station in the middle of nowhere to fuel up and use the restroom. We took off and got about 2 hours down the road when I realized my little brother wasn't there. He had gotten out to use the restroom but nobody saw him. The gas station attendants were panicked (no cell phones back then). Dad called them from. A payphone using the yellow pages directory in the phone booth. Found out he was safe and they gave him snacks and soda. He was 6 years old. I think the experience changed him.
@@earlt.7573 Crazy! One of my Dads work cars was a VW station wagon. It had cream vinyl seats & they were an orange clay color from the job he worked on for 2 years. That car was never the same 😆
@@GramsMusick158That must have been terrifying for him. 😢
LOL 😂, me and my 2 older brothers wore winter wool hats to bed trying to keep out hair flat as it would just go over . Now im bald and shave it all off and i don't mind .😂 And seat belts, i don't go anywhere without it buckled up. Batman was watched across the street on my friends color TV. Catwoman was my favorite 😍.
Me and my sister ironed our hair😅 I should have tried the hat.haha. Grew up on Batman my older brother watched it so me and my sister had no choice.
@@julenepegher6999The robust colors of everything was like looking at comic books on a nice color TV. And that iron on the hair ???? 😢😢😢😢😢😮😮😮😮😮😮😂😂😂😂
@@freedomrings1420 yes color tv was quite an experience. We didn’t get one for awhile. Yea, the iron, we just did what we had to do to be pretty.🤩
Which Catwoman? Ertha Kitt for me. Purrrrfect!
@@KJ-of6lf She was nice, but my heart at 10, 11 went to Julie Newmar. Who also was on an episode of Columbo in the 70s.
I remember Flip Wilson.His “Devil Made Me Do It”and “Here Comes The Judge”.Loved Get Smart and Wild Wild West and their opening music.I remember girls wearing white GoGo Boots,Chain belts and Mini dresses and skirts.Sea Monkeys🤣I was raised and grew up in Public housings so the culture was a little different back than compared to now.Quija Boards still NOPE to this day.Love this channel.
Geraldine! Was our favorite charter!
I had a pair of white leather Golo go go boots ❤
@@sonyafox3271My Mom loved the Geraldine character.. I truly miss those variety shows.. Like Dean Martin,Sonny & Cher,Carol Burnett all the wonderful Christmas Specials
Another fun thing that came out of the spy genre was one of my favorite games my sister had! Time Bomb by Milton Bradley! You would wind the "fuze" on top and as it ticked you tossed it around like hot potato! The person who lost the game would be holding it when a loud POP!! went off, signifying the "explosion"! Haha!
Dare i say it???? Fun times!!! Great memories!
I had the mumps for two weeks and I was home from school..... got to watch tv all day and all night. Yeah I felt bad but have fond memories of that time....😮😮
I was born in 1940, was a teen in the fifties and an adult in the sixties. They were all fantastic decades for me. And by the way, riding on the shelf under the back window was popular in the forties. It was my favorite spot in the car.
You’re my mom’s age. She got her license at 17 & is still driving today. Lots of good trips with mom. She was a way better driver than my dad 😊
You are right, I was born in 1961, best of times. The 40s, 50s and 60s were the best eras to be a kid. The music was groovy and so were the movies, everything in my opinion was GREAT! I'd go back if I could, wink.
My dad was a great driver. He taught me how to double clutch, get out of spins, start on hills (stick shift of course) and other neat tips. I still drive and my only limitation is that I don't drive in the rain after dark because my eyes don't accommodate as well as when I was younger.@@samanthab1923
I remember the 1960's, almost all my late parents favorite shows like the Hawaii - 5 0, James Bond, I Spy, Mission Impossible, Man From U.N.C.L.E., Danny Kaye Show, Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, Star Trek, Lost In Space, Wild Wild West, Get Smart, The Cat, much more.
I laid in the window, and also on the back floor (it was so warm and "rumbly" on a trip!). Got my deviated septum as a child when Dad rolled our car to avoid a drunk driver: there were no seat belts, so I got tossed around, broke my nose, and never got it set right.
HaHa . i read that as " my drunk dad rolled his car to avoid a sober driver " .
im cynical like that . im a 65 yr old man with a crooked nose too . now i look at it like " yea MF , try to straighten it then " .
I remember being a little kid watching the news and seeing updates about the Vietnam War on a nightly basis. As a small child I didn’t understand what was going on and was frightened seeing those news segments.
Born in 62' and I have a faint memory of watching the Vietnam war on T.V., too. War didn't make any sense back then and still doesn't. Thank God the Government abolished the draft before I turned 18 in 1980. I worried a lot about being drafted when I was young. I feel bad for those young people who sacrificed their life in Vietnam.
@@stephendacey8761I was born in ‘64 and felt the same. I remember seeing black and white broadcasts of Vietnam and having no idea what was going on. When the US invaded Grenada I was worried.
@@MasterMalrubius I had a classmate of mine die in the suicide bombing in October of 1983. He was a marine and died alongside 241 other military men. I went to the funeral and saw many of my fellow classmates at the funeral. Many of the girls who rejected him were their and had tears running down their faces. The kid lived a very tough life, especially when his parents were murdered in front of him and his little sister, when they were very young. He and his sister were adopted into a good family and changed their name. His family was close to my mine.
@@stephendacey8761 I hope that some how your Marine friend knew that people back home really cared about him.
@@elviscobb5922 Thanks for responding. I hope so. He lived a tough life, especially with the trauma of having his parents murdered in front of him and his sister. He got adopted by a Christian family, but you could tell that he was struggling mentally. A lot of my classmates did show up at the funeral. He died at only 21. His name was Michael Devlin (it was Harry Tubbs, but he changed his name after being adopted).
Columbia Record club with 13 albums for a penny was a highlight of the 60's. It was cheaper than going to the record store, but it did take a little patience. It was how I discovered Jimmy Hendrix and Janis Joplin.
I remember this
Columbia Record Club was how I got into trouble with my mom. 😂
60s were so fun! I love my memories!
1960s had the best television shows: Combat, Voyage to the bottom of the sea, The Rat Patrol, Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock, Outer Limits, The Munsters, Dragnet, Star Trek, The Green Hornet, F Troop, Get Smart, Candid Camera, Gomer Pyle, The Rifleman, Time Tunnel, Mr. Ed the talking horse, I dream of Jeanie, The Man from Uncle, Top Cat, My Favorite Martian, Car 54 where are you, Batman, Hogans Heroes, The Invaders, Twelve O'Clock High, The Fugitive, Beverly Hillbillies, Flipper, Lets Make A Deal, Green Acres, The Mod Squad, ETC.
Mutual Of Omaha's Wild Kingdom with Marlon Perkins was a must watch if you were an animal lover. Marlon educated kids about wildlife from all over the world.
I wish they had Variety Shows on now like that hey did in the late 60's & 70's... My Mom & I always looked forward to watching Sonny & Cher,we loved all her beautiful fashion she wore!! Other shows we watch were of course Ed Sullivan on Sunday evenings,Dean Martin,Laugh-In,Carol Burnett & Bob Hope specials along with all the Christmas specials
Don't forget Bewitched and Addams Family. "You RANG!?"
@@EastTexasRanching i mainly mentioned my favorites and added etc.
@@JxT1957 I am aware of that. And I gave some suggestions for the etc.
Thanks for the wonderful memories!💯😮👍!
Born in 58, I remember all of the tv shows, Vietnam war, and rapid changes during the 60s.
We had to be home when the Street Lights came on.
Then we could play near the house since it was only Dusk and not fully dark yet.
Thanks for sharing!👍
Well done and thanks 😊
It was wonderful growing up in the 60's.
This was great. Remember all of this. Would like to see Rowan & Martins Laugh in again.
Never wore the vinyl clothing, but minnie skirts, boots...oh yes.
Tubi (free) has Rowan and Martin's Laugh In.
I,was born in 1957,and I grew up in the 1960's.
I wasn't Guilty about any wrong doings. But, in the late 1960's and early 1970's, and I still remember the HIPPIE STYLE WHEN MEN,WORELONG HAIR.AND DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE PEACE SYMBOL FROM BACK IN THE DAY. 6:08
LOL 😂, I remember always saying peace ✌.
@freedomrings1420 I loved that peace sign, I have two coffee mugs, one with an actual peace sign and one that just says peace. I lived through the 60s and that has stuck with me my entire life.
Tiki culture: Here in Queensland Australia, the Tiki Culture boom coincided with the growth spurt and development of our Surfers Paradise, hence a lot of the motels from that time had this trend, some were Tiki Village, Tahitian Sun, Coconut Grove etc. Yes and Tiki bars were popular in homes here also.
Growing up in the 60’s was great. Playing outside all day until the streetlights came on was the best!
Loved the Our Man Flint movies. Still worthwhile if you haven't seen them.
Yes, good looking inshape women. 😘 And funny too.
@@freedomrings1420 I used to have his ringtone on my cell phone. Still cool.
@@DavidLS1I love that ❤
They were the best. Try Matt Helm too. Dean Martin
Coburn was great in those. 👍👍👍
I was born in 68, So I just missed the sixties, but I loved the reruns from that decade.
Thanks for the Video (and the memories) 😀
My mom and her sister (my aunt) both used to iron their hair. Thanks for the video. It was fun to watch!
i ironed my hair
@@lovly2cu725Girls now iron their hair too.
You mentioned, "Lost in Space" and "Star Trek" but what about, "The Outer Limits". That was my all time favorite show of the 60s. Such great episodes and advanced story lines and score by Dominic Frontier. "Twilight Zone", as well! These shows are still very popular!
No one remembers Roald Dahl's "Way Out". Only on for one summer. Very creepy.
Yeh the Outer Limits,. The World Beyond , The T-Zone
@@hewitcI remember Way Out, wasn't it the one where it began with a hand reaching out of a grave?
@@Donna-zc9ii No. That might have been Chiller Theater. Six fingered had? Way Out had Dahl smoking a cigarette introducing the story in a creepy manner. It had an episode where a man is ill. He brow beats his wife for smoking, anong other things. He is dying so she thinks she's rid of him. He tells her the doctors have a way to keep his brain alive, so no. He dies. His brain in in a clear tank of fluid and his eye is kept separate. She gets her revenge by blowing smoke in the eye. He can't speak, only react on an oscilloscope.
@hewitc OK. I guess I'm another one because I sure don't remember that. I think I would have been 11, 12, or 13 at that time, so I seem to remember many of those shows. My favorite is still Twilight Zone. I just watched two days of them over New Years weekend, and I actually saw a few I'd never seen before😊
In the late 1960s. I volunteered for the US Navy. I watched many of those movies.
The 1950's and the 1960's were my favorites decades of my life. Until the 1970's and the 1980's when my children were born.
You could have included the dance shows that all teenagers had to watch: Shindig, Hullabaloo, and of course American Bandstand in the afternoon. John Waters based his movie 'Hairspray' on these once-popular shows.
In 1964, when I was 19, I moved to L.A. to get into showbusiness. I was criticized by my mom's family for leaving home. My mom was criticized for letting me go. They told her she was foolish because she'd never know what I was doing. That generation was SO illiterate about what was going on in life at the time. They hated Rock and Roll, hated the Beatles, and thought all the Students at Berkeley should go to jail, and any guy that had long hair was a hippie or queer. It was pretty idiotic! All I know was that my parents supported me and my choices.I was lucky.
I only got to see the Beatles on Ed Sullivan twice. they were on 4 times. Someone was on the radio saying long hair was bad so my parents had an argument about letting me see them. George Washington had longer hair
As we used to say......So did Jesus.
Laugh-in and Smothers Brothers were the hip variety shows in the late ‘60’s
I absolutely remember camping out in the back windshield, albeit a little over a decade later. My dad had a Pontiac-something (don’t remember the model), and that thing was an absolute land barge. I also remember curling up in the foot well in the back seat and taking naps when we were on road trips! 😊
Let's not forget spending all Saturday morning watching cartoons that weren't just commercials (except in baseball season, when -- on the west coast -- at 10am we tuned in to Curt Gowdy and Tony Kubek for the "Game of the Week"). Great cartoons back then, besides the still-popular Looney Tunes: Atom Ant, Secret Squirrel, Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, Squidly Diddly, and all the other Hanna Barbera greats!
We liked Super chicken and George of the Jungle too!
Or Vin Scully doing the Dodger games. Or Mel Allens This Week In Baseball. Only way to see highlights back then.
Another thing I've noticed about back then and now as far as the TV goes, the seasons of shows lasted up around 9 months, and the cast and crew took a 2 to 3 month break. Now, we only get a max of 3 month of a season, and they take off a whole year or more. What's worse is, we don't get the bang for our buck. Back then, a station could make plenty of money just by showing commercials and it was all free to us. Now, we not only have to watch even more commercials, but we also have to pay a high price each month to even get the shows through a cable company. And, it seems like the stations are always getting in a fight with the cable companies, and the stations always want more and more money. What ever happened to being able to operate on ad revenue?
Being a kid in the 60s was great riding bikes (no helmets) playing baseball swimming at the community pool roller rinks getting ice cream at the Dairy Queen walking your best girl to class. No cell phones no video games no dvds going to the movies with your friends yeah I’m glad i grew up in the 60s
Something missing in the comments was the TV show Mission: Impossible. Even today, I think the theme song is instantly recognizable by almost everybody. (Yes, I know that the Tom Cruise movies helped that along). They had such cool gadgets that just seemed so amazing to me as a 10-15 year old. Nowadays, new gadgets seem to proliferate on a daily basis, and it is hard to keep up.
O yeah, laying in the back window of the car as a kid, we did that all the time. We would climb over the front seat and sit up front with Mom & Dad, and fall asleep up there with the light of the AM dash radio glow. The hood ornaments looked like gunsights on a fighter plane and I'd sight down the hood and line up pretend "targets". The little turn signal 'blinker" lights on the front fenders were fun to watch too. And fiddling with the cigarette lighter in the dash, push it in and wait for it to "POP" back out, and finding out the hard way that it was RED HOT, ha, haaa. A car ride was a real fun time for a kid back then.
A very innovative time. People were not afraid to experiment and have fun. Government was not involved in every aspect of citizens’ lives. The news media, by and large, was professional and trustworthy. Doctors still made house calls. Nobody was worried about the weather. If it rained, you put your rain coat on and went about your business anyway. It seems that no one today is happy.
Thank you👍❤
Yes, (lol) I was a car climber when, I was little and, I loved crawling up in the back window area and go to sleep when, we took long trips. I used to get car sick like nothing and, it was a perfect place lay and, help keep the car sickness at bay!
Roaming through the hills with other boys (after school), playing boardgames around the neighborhood, fantasy sword fights with wooden swords & shields, TV & movies, football, and swimming -- all of those things I well remember from growing up in the 60s.
When ya'll said variety shows, I kept waiting for Laugh In. Finally, I said, "Come on, you gotta remember Laugh In". Then you hung it at the end. I hadn't thought about laying in the back window of the car in years. Boy, times were fun back in then.
Loved the Jackie Gleason Show back then with good clean humor. "And away we go" he always said starting the show off (FYI, that is also engraved on his tombstone).
Remember watching with my dad. Reginald Van Gleason 😂
Even though I was born in '66, I remember sleeping on the ledge above the back seat - good times! If my Dad had to hit the brakes in his Fairlane, I had about 3 yards where the front seat was for a cushion.
@Recollection Road ...Take care of that cold, boss...Happy new year. Keep up the good work.
In 1968 I was 11 years old and we took a family trip from Oklahoma to Ohio. We were a family of 8. My uncle’s family also went with us in their vehicle. There were 6 in their family. On the way to Ohio our car broke down in a Stuckey’s parking lot. So we piled into our uncle’s car for the remainder of the trip. 14 people in a car made for 6. Did I mention it didn’t have a/c? Those were the good old days 😅
OMG😂😂
Curt Henderson (Richard Dreyfuss in American Graffiti) made the mistake of sitting on the wrong car hood. Talk about trouble! 😁
Born 1965 myself, messed up world today.
I can remember climbing into the little storage area behind the back seat of a Volkswagen Bug and taking a nap there!!! Great to be a kid in the 60’s!!!
As a kid growing up in the 60’s we had a station wagon. Dad would load us up in the back at like 4 am with alot of blankets. We’d wake up later 2 states away. That how we traveled everywhere. My brother and I would always get super bored back there after requisite games and dad would always threaten to lock the brakes if we didn’t settle down. Well. That was just an invitation to go nuts. We did. He did and we went tumbling into the seats. We loved it 😍 😅. As a parent I got pulled over because my own reticent child refused to wear his shoulder seatbelt and the cop had a chat with him 😮.
To be fair, variety shows had a lifespan well into the 70s. Carol Burnett continued, and other shows cropped up like Sonny & Cher and Donny & Marie. Then there were frequent variety show specials from the Carpenters, Olivia Newton-John, just to name a few!
I remember most of this growing up. Never had sea monkeys though.
I never climbed on the package shelf but my cousin used too.
My first record was the Batman theme on a 45 rpm.
My son was in a used record shop today buying cassettes. A guy came in to sell 45s & 8 tracks!
We always had Tang in our cupboard, I liked it. Also Ovaltine😂😂
Rock 'n roll, bell bottoms, love beads, and mini skirts! We had the best music and the most fun.
The hippie era had its start in the late 1960s. Along with that came a more nonconformist and questioning young generation, and the start of more widespread experimentation with drugs. Perhaps the 1970s has a stronger association with drug use by young people, but it was there in the late 1960s.
I would have loved to be a teen in the 60s. Such an amazing period in history.
It was. So many changes and we were so young and thought we knew it all.
But the military draft was held over you if you were a boy.
I did all of this except friends ironed each others hair. It's fun to see. The '60s was my prime childhood years, 3/4 -13. I loved the time and wouldn't change much at all.
i was a pre-teen in the 1960's didn't know what being guilty of was
The 60's were great, great days when looking back and we've been slowly sliding down the hill ever since and getting worse.
You left out the "Chinese Fire Drill" where a car load of teens pulled up to a red light, got out and ran around the car, and jumped back in when the light turned green. Often, someone was left behind since the driver pulled off as soon as the green light came on. Kinda like musical chairs. Anyway, if you were a teen in the mid to late 60's, many had only 3 things on their minds. Muscle cars (my first car was a 66 Mustang GT fastback with a 289 HIPO and 4 speed trans.), girls, and partying.
We played Chinese fire drill in the late 90s. ❤
We were in costume, on our way to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, in Denver, in 1978. We were riding in Geiselhart's van, and at a stop light he holler's "Chinese Fire Drill!", and out we went. We circled the Country Squire Station Wagon behind us, A girl and guy in corsets, me in gold boots and a gold bathing suit, a werewolf, and a guy in a cheap gray suit headed toward you. the mom screamed, the dad yelled, "Lock the doors kids", they were freaking out. We circled the car and jumped back in the van and took off. Good Times!
I was born in 1961 and enjoyed everything about it. Best times for me were kid to grow up in . Best music and movies and the world was a MUCH better place to live in. If I had a time machine I would go back to those times.
How about wearing a vest made from ring tabs from soda cans? Or just making a long chain for your bedroom?
Yep! A lot of the girls in high school did this
We made those and used then for chain mail when we played barbarians.
The back window rear wasn’t a “dash”, it was a “Hat Rack”, made for men and women to put their hats away. They didn’t want them in the seats or floorboard. (I was born in the 1950’s, and I slept on the hat rack😎
I was where I put my 4 Jensen Tri-ax speakers, and deafened the neighbors.
@@robmatlock7675 😎
There was very little to keep us indoors. Before cable, your tv choices were limited to how many stations your rooftop antenna could pull in. Living in a rural area, we got three, ABC, CBS and NBC, and sometimes only two depending on the weather. Weekday mornings were mostly game shows, afternoons were entirely soap operas, and evenings were when the family watched tv (a lot of westerns and detective shows). But we were very active and that is pretty typical of who our generation still is today. In my 70s I still hike and canoe and horseback ride and ride go karts with the grandkids, things our grandparents certainly didn’t do with us.
I just have one comment about the 1960's. Cars back then had style, they did not all look alike as todays cars do and dealers promoted their high power cars rather than trucks as they do now.
Born in '64...but had 6 older siblings that lived a lot of these things. But I rode along.
I don’t know about the Tiki style being gone…a lot of people still wear those shirts and there are many tiki bars!
One of my boyfriends called them, Hawaii shirts, after one little girl seen him and, called him Mr. Hawaii!
@@sonyafox3271I still call them Hawaiian shirts. Was in a thrift shop today & saw a few.
it is back, so is mid century modern furniture
@@lovly2cu725Don't know where it's back at?? I haven't seen any Tiki Bars anywhere
I was born in the 1970s, but without any doubt, the Beatles changed popular music and clothing and hair styles. You left out Hullabaloo and Shindig.
dick clark had a show on in the afternoon (not american bandstand)
@@lovly2cu725Was it the game show "Password"??
There were 3 CatWomen on Batman ! Julie Newmarr, Eartha Kitt and Lee Meriwether. Which is your favorite? And how could you forget BatGirl? Yvonne Craig was just gorgeous.
We had a quiji board. Never worked as a kid. I remember our whole family getting together to play with it. Then as an adult I spoke to some peeps about some strange things happening with board.
If "investing" in gold was a good idea the company would not be selling it. It is good for them for you to invest in gold.
You missed the Free love movement, the proliferation of drugs, psychedelic posters, drag racing in Muscle Cars and Streaking!
Yes! I did a little bit of all that stuff back then 😅
I miss the freedom we had. The government did not run every aspect of our lives
Exactly, pre 1964, Americans could discriminate as freely as their heart desired

Looks like we may only have to put up with that for another couple months.
"The 1960s was a decade that was filled with things that are unique to that time." Since the 1900's, I would argue that ALL decades fit into that.
I was born December 1961 I remembered the great 60 s
I was born in early 57. I don't remember the 60s because I stayed high all the time until 1970.
Thank you so much for posting this! I live my life as if it were 1966 to 1970!!!!
I loved that. ‼️❤️. I graduated in 1965. I kept seeing girls that I thought …she looks just like me. 😊 I had blonde hair I wore in a flip. Short skirts, short shorts, bell bottom pants. And…. Hamburgers were 25 cents. And we would drive up and down Main Street and Sherwood way. For hours. We had several places to go to get a great Burger. My favorite place was Sherwood Lanes…. A bowling alley and great food. They even had eagle brand Lemon Pie ! Great music ! Great food. And great friends oh the great dancing. Thanks for taking me down memory Lane. ❤️❤️❤️
Hawaii and Alaska were admitted to the Union in 1959.
yes so they were new states especially compared to the next youngest state which became a state nearly 50 years earlier
Tiki is still awesome! 🤣 I remember laying on the living room floor with the family watching The Carol Burnett Show and others. Family time is about dead now. I think that is a major reason mental issues are so prevalent these days.
I remember American Bandstand, watching the teens dancing.
Some local tv stations even had their own versions of Bandstand. I remember when WOC TV Davenport had its own version on Saturday afternoon.
Life had soo much magic back then, faith based magic. People don't have faith here in America anymore....
Kinda funny how all the classic cars and music is from the sixties
Being a kid was almost always swell.
sneaking in a bunch of friends in the drive-in movies :D
Definatly the best of the decade the 60s were great and the social engineering had not started yet (which ruins things for people today)
The 60's was a remarkably mobile decade for youth. Fuel was inexpensive and it was possible to drive across the country for less than $35 - and even less if you hitchhiked. Greyhound and Trailways buses reached small town America and had unlimited travel packs for the summer. You could fly cheaply on "stand-by" status. Hopping freight trains offered its own unique adventure. The Route 66 TV series ('60-'64) inspired exploration of the U.S. It had the coolest theme song (thank you Nelson Riddle). A decade of comings and goings is long gone.
