I'm really sorry, you had to experience, that hell . Should never have happened . Regardless, You are our freedom . We wish you, the very best, in your remaining years ! ♥️ I want to say, on behalf of all of us... THANK YOU !!! for your service . Much Appreciated !! 🇺🇸
in those days I was involved with the draft resistance and we would go to Long Beach to greet the returning soldiers with flowers... of cannabis.. it is the very very best medicine for PTSD... it's not a joke, PTSD... and it lasts a lifetime... my father tried to drown it with alcohol and he died.. at 103.. to mean to die, apparently... RIP Col Carew.... cannabis oils in hempseed oil, with blue poppy seeds ground in will fix what ails you... available on Amazon, wouldn't ya know it
I cannot belive I lived in this era. It took many years later for me to realize just how blessed I was to have experienced these special times. The cars, the girls were all so special. If only today's kids ( and adults) could be like we were in the 60's. The old classics can keep the feelings alive in our hearts.
American Graffiti was a time capsule into my youth. The music was amazing The cars, chrome with style. A much simpler time, when everyone got along. Drag racing, or the drive in movies every weekend, no emission bullshit and cruisin was a nightly thing. We actually had a sense of freedom back then. It's is a real shame, the youth of today, missed out on this amazing time, and just how happy we were.
Now that lifetime is in the rearview mirror and we discover how beautiful it was and how little of that road is in front of us making us realise how lucky we have been to make this trip. PS. will remember your line till the end of my days.
When they line up for the drag race and Green Onions is playing, still gives me goose bumps. If your into music and Hot Rods, this is pure movie gold. Nice Video!
It is awesome that these two iconic cars still exist the same as they were in the movie.Two historic artifacts that damn near should be in the Smithsonian.(Hardcore movie buffs will know this but...the '55 Chevy driven by Harrison Ford aka "Bob Falfa" in American Graffiti is the same '55 from "Two Lane BlackTop").And to think...all of the cars from this great movie languished for years after filming unprotected and uncared for on the studio back lot unwanted.
The other one that gets my adrenaline firing is the race between the yellow 57 (Project X) and the Cobra in Hollywood Knights. The 57 sounds like it's possessed.
For anyone who may be interested in the model at 50 to 53, her name is KC Winkler.She is a model and actress who posed for Playboy with an absolutely amazing figure and from what I understand also a very nice person.
This is the greatest hot rod movie ever, & that’s saying a lot. I have most of those old school flicks, & love them all. Green onions is by a landslide the greatest of all Saturday night Cruze jams. Any old school, real enthusiast knows that.
I always felt AG was less of a hot Rod movie, and more of movie version of Happy Days. Yes, there were some great cars, but there wasn’t really much about racing until the end. Hollywood Knights was pretty damn good and revolved more around cars and racing than AG. And Hot Rod (not that dumb ass movie with the idiot) a.k.a., Rebel of the Road is a great hidden gem. I actually like it better than AG, probably because of that damn Willys in it.
1974, Tucson, Speedway Blvd. 17 years old with a 1966 Malibu and Cynthia. Mike, Jim, Jack, and this sound track rockin us as we had the time of our lives. They will always live in my heart.
As this boss instrumental plays, I can envision John's deuce coupe and Bob's Chevy streaming down Paradise Road towards the spot where they would race.
Booker T and the MGs released this song in in 1962 - - the movie American Graffiti was what is referred to as a coming of age type movie about that time period released in 1973. The interesting thing is Booker T and the MGs were 2 white guys and 2 black guys touring and playing together in the south when segregation was still in full swing and many hits by bands composed of white artists were covering black artist's blues, soul and rock music and getting credit for the music - - but in the end the music kicked the doors in and people enjoyed the music regardless of the person's race. I'm old school so I don't think today's music can compare to the 60s tunes and the music takes me back to fond remembrances
the 50s and 60s was the best time to grow up in I just turned 80 so who says you are to old to rockin roll.it up to this generation to keep rock alive so don't let us old farts down.
American Grafitti is one of the classic films....For it's low budget George Lucas caught and preserved true Americana of the early 60's....A much simpler time. It'll always be one of my favorites. Green Onions....What can you say? Steve Cropper and the whole crew recorded a gem when they thought that they were just 'jamming'....Brilliant....Genius!
This song sounds great coming from my jukebox I have this 45 vinyl in my juckbox in my apartment and my goddaughter will hear all the great oldies songs she's 9years old.
Green onions was and will always be my favorite music. I use to cruise the strip in my 56 Chevrolet 2door hardtop, cruising the strip listening to green onions👍🙂👍...
Like it or not.....THESE will be "The Good Ol' Daze"....(06 June 2021) for the likes of my grandkids...Check out Merle Haggards "Are the good times really over for good" or Steve Ripley's "Gone Away".....Except for the war...(U.S.A.F. got me dd214 diploma November 72')...A pretty damn fun time....
So nostalgic... ,, grateful & thankful today for RUclips keeping me spirited, & all who choose to Jam on wherever you may be chillin right now . Hey Ladies & Gents it's Saturday, what's cooking!!!!!
American Grafiti is one of the best movies of all time. Anyone who hasn't seen it needs too. Same with Kelly's Heros, Space Balls, Blazing sattles, Airplane, and under cover brother to name a few.
Used to seriously put this song in my cassette deck when I would meet up to a drag race. All because of this movie. Had a huge impact on me. Oh yeah I never lost when I did that. Lol
I was there last August for the Graffiti Weekend parade and car show with a mini-class reunion thrown in. Old cars and some of my high school friends. It was great to go back even if it was just for a little while.
Those of who grew up in these times were quite fortunate, the drugs , gangs and shit today is terrible. I thank God that I grew up in the 60's and 70's they were good clean times. I got to speak to Wolfman Jack on his last broadcast day in San Diego, that was in 1988 or 89. I can honestly say I wish we could have those days back. RIP Wolfman, you gave us some great memories. We need more movies like American Graffiti to remind us there were good times without all the bullshit.
I'm stuck in the era.I'm 65 wishing i had my 58chevy still as in the movie. I'd be cruising up n down the blvd. Only sad thing is there wolfman jack wouldn't be comeing over my radio.but I'd still be listening to the golden oldies of yester year.as though it was only yesterday.hey anybody wanna race my hot rod Lincoln lol.😀.I've got to get my magic carpet fixed so i can travel back in time.

This track is great in its own right but what I love in the movie is how it is used near the end as the sun comes up. After all the straight up 50s rock and roll it kind of heralds that fact that the 60s were here and with it all the dramatic changes to America - both home and abroad - that were to come. American graffiti is a fantastic film - perhaps the best of it's type - and proof if needed that Lucas was more than just you-know-what.
Indeed, 1962 was the last gasp of that residual 1950s America feel. Kennedy would be gone by late 1963, Beatles were here a few months later...Vietnam heated up. It's like all America was tossed into a blender
Green onions came way before American Graffiti.. around 1960 my father built me a radio that after dark could pick up the wolf man.. and across the street from me every saturday there were a bunch of "older kids " that played music in the garage.. that was where I learned to play green onions.. and I think even then it was old . not sure the year it was released but long before the movie came out ... same era as telstar.. if you are old enough to remember that one. I believe the first band to release GR Onions was the sam wright group.
I remember seeing this movie on TV, because when it came out I was only seven years old. I did like some of the songs and some of those cars were really cool.👍😁😎
Wolfman would DJ back in the 70’s in my hometown. Humboldt county California. It was pipped in from down south but it was still live. Loved the 70’s and some WOLFMAN BABY I live near Petaluma California where you see the “Millners racing team” add in this video. Some of this movie was shot in Sonoma county for all you kids seeing this for the first time.
'Got green Onions hanging all over the studio, precious things. Gonna keep the vampires away you understand?' Wolfman Jack was so cool. I remember when the film came out, although in my early teen's it epitomised what I felt and wished for. I was conceived in the fifties and born in the sixties, I experienced the best music ever! My mate 'Dangerous Dave' still has his 1970's 'piss yellow' Model T hot rod! I feel so sorry for today's generation, who don't know what a woman is....
Ya know, I'm a music FANATIC, and though I've heard this song probably a hundred times in various places through my life, until tonight, I had no friggin' clue it was a whole/entire song. Just bought this puppy because of this clip here. Thanks, amigo!
That 32 Coupe is truly the only car I've ever wanted own but could never afford to buy or build. One day I may be homeless, but I will own a yellow 32 Coupe modeled after this one!
EddieParker absolutely awesome music form the 60s one of the best movie ever made awesome cruiseing music that’s the way it really was fantastic era for being alive times were so good back then 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
I was 13 when I saw my first Hemi engine. 392 in a 32 Ford coupe. Blower and chrome every where. Those spark plug wires. Still can here the whine of the blower with 2- 4 barrels. Leaving the 4 way stop sign in the smoke and dust of a short burn out. You just don't get that in a front wheel drive car. Shawn
I met wolfman jack back in ' 70 ' s in Hamden Ct. He was a dee-jay at kc 101 , my brother was a dee-hay at Wplr in New Haven going by Fat jack , I must've been 10 or 11 years old at the time so when I seen The wolfman I was totally flabbergasted man here is a man I listened to on the radio and finally I meet him !!! 😲 WOW!!!
It’s 11pm on a Summer’s night. I'm driving down a country road in my 68 Camaro coming back from a car show looking out the window at the full moon in the sky. I’m chilling listening to this song on the radio. The vibe is good and I’m smiling away to myself. Today was a good day, not that anything significant happened but it’s the little things in life.
Back during the days when woman were young ladies, with their skirts and pony tails, and the cars were cool, bad and stish and the music was rad! Nothing better than cruising around with your girl, on Friday & Saturday nights and hooking up with your friends at the McDonald's or drive in restaurant and go drag racing from.red light to red light listening too wolf man jack on the radio or pop in a 8 track and than on Sunday evenings kick back while sitting on the hood of my 70 Goat listening to Casey casum top 100 count down!! Those were the days!!
82sweetheart Its funny how when companies want some really good music for advertising or commercials they always go back at least 30 years, I wonder whats with that.
I remember a party in 1962 in New Orleans. It was there thatI had eyes for a beautiful girl. Her name was Jane. This song was played over and over; it has stayed with me. I hope that life has gone well for Jane; she deserved it.

Dazed and Confused for me, born in 1961.
Life before bucket seats and pantyhose. My friend Doug Kaleva would take his girlfriend in the car into the lube room and I would hoist them up!
Yes it is a shame my kids are today they don't understand anything he always getting misled
Yes they are
Poor innocent girls of 1950 ...Misleading theirs path to hommie when dark surrounded everything...Creepy nights.
WOLFMAN!!! Greatest voice for radio there has ever been!
The Wolfman, listened to him many times.
"The Wolfman is everywhere" ~ Wolfman Jack
I got to meet him and got his autograph KOIL radio omaha
Yeah as an old Pom used to love listening to the “Wolfman” and Booker T…..great times.👍🇦🇺🇬🇧😎
Clap for the Wolfman
He gonna make your record high......
The Midnight Special on Friday 🌙 with the Wolfman was about as 70s as you could get.
Ah, we were all so young back then with an undiscovered lifetime ahead of us.
Now that lifetime is in the rearview mirror and we discover how beautiful it was and how little of that road is in front of us making us realise how lucky we have been to make this trip.

Not quite John Milner but glare this from a 1932 Ford pickup with a 460 in it ..... and it feels badass!!!
Got to meet Wolfman Jack in Fremont, CA while partying with my brother. He let us stand with him at The Penthouse as he played music. Good man..
Great film, fantastic music.
The coolest and most appropriate track in American Graffiti.
Ok gotta say the most incredible song written without one word! And sums up "AMERICA!"
Trips through Cali.desert at night listening to Wolfman Jack Such great memories ❤️❤️🙏🏻
'Got green Onions hanging all over the studio, precious things. Gonna keep the vampires away you understand?' Wolfman Jack was so cool.
I remember when the film came out, although in my early teen's it epitomised what I felt and wished for. I was conceived in the fifties and born in the sixties, I experienced the best music ever!
My mate 'Dangerous Dave' still has his 1970's 'piss yellow' Model T hot rod!
I feel so sorry for today's generation, who don't know what a woman is....
Wolf Man Jack I miss you RIP
How about Ron Moore and the Coke Show in Anchorage in the 60's....Great time

Never be another Wolfman Jack
Ya know, I'm a music FANATIC, and though I've heard this song probably a hundred times in various places through my life, until tonight, I had no friggin' clue it was a whole/entire song. Just bought this puppy because of this clip here. Thanks, amigo!
Love....thank you for your awesome music and great memories in my lilfe....🥰
great. Movie! An. American. Classic!!!
The 60's were the greatest time of my life !!! Where is that time Machine ?
Rock and roll baby mercy six gimme some more ........... You got the one Wolfman jack 😁👍😍😎
Booker T. and the MG's. (i.e. Booker T. Jones and the Memphis Group) As said before, the definition of COOL.
That 32 Coupe is truly the only car I've ever wanted own but could never afford to buy or build. One day I may be homeless, but I will own a yellow 32 Coupe modeled after this one!
Every time I hear this song, I think of American Graffiti. Cool song, cool movie.
I like Green Onions with just about anything
EddieParker absolutely awesome music form the 60s one of the best movie ever made awesome cruiseing music that’s the way it really was fantastic era for being alive times were so good back then 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
I was 13 when I saw my first Hemi engine. 392 in a 32 Ford coupe. Blower and chrome every where. Those spark plug wires. Still can here the whine of the blower with 2- 4 barrels. Leaving the 4 way stop sign in the smoke and dust of a short burn out. You just don't get that in a front wheel drive car. Shawn
I met wolfman jack back in ' 70 ' s in Hamden Ct. He was a dee-jay at kc 101 , my brother was a dee-hay at Wplr in New Haven going by Fat jack , I must've been 10 or 11 years old at the time so when I seen The wolfman I was totally flabbergasted man here is a man I listened to on the radio and finally I meet him !!! 😲 WOW!!!
KILLER SONG THE BEST INSTRUMENTAL EVER !!! PERFECT FOR CRUISIN IN MY BALCK 55 CHEVY HAHAHAHAH I GOT ME ONE !! BECAUSE OF THIS MOVIE !!!!!!
55 Chevy with a 348 stuffed in her what fun we had
Hey, Rebel, enjoy it , great car.
THIS movie was about me and my friends,I had a 55' chevy NOMAD,283, 4 speed,then in later years ,I dropped a 396 in it...
We need to bring all this back....
Great song. and Even greater cars. Cool flic
Can't imagine there will ever be another person on the air as big as Wolfman was. Unlimited wattage!!
Ryan Seacrest is NO Wolfman Jack.... but probably a nice guy nonetheless :)
I have a feeling that he was really a very very nice person
It’s 11pm on a Summer’s night. I'm driving down a country road in my 68 Camaro coming back from a car show looking out the window at the full moon in the sky. I’m chilling listening to this song on the radio. The vibe is good and I’m smiling away to myself. Today was a good day, not that anything significant happened but it’s the little things in life.
Wolfman was a mainstay on AFRTS radio when you were over yonder somewhere. Great memories.
Back during the days when woman were young ladies, with their skirts and pony tails, and the cars were cool, bad and stish and the music was rad!
Nothing better than cruising around with your girl, on Friday & Saturday nights and hooking up with your friends at the McDonald's or drive in restaurant and go drag racing from.red light to red light listening too wolf man jack on the radio or pop in a 8 track and than on Sunday evenings kick back while sitting on the hood of my 70 Goat listening to Casey casum top 100 count down!! Those were the days!!
The perfect 'cruisin' song ~ now all I need is white 56 T-bird ~
There is a morning radio show here in NY that uses that intro for their show.
***** ~ I've heard several stations around here use it some for advertising or for intro.'s. It's a 'cool' intro.!
82sweetheart As a guy Id rather have a 32 douce coupe, but a blonde in a 56 T bird would be nice too.
82sweetheart Its funny how when companies want some really good music for advertising or commercials they always go back at least 30 years, I wonder whats with that.

Nostalgia maybe? Most likely because the songs today aren't as good.
My brother had this album and played it a lot as I was a little little girl. Cool room wired for sound
I remember a party in 1962 in New Orleans. It was there thatI had eyes for a beautiful girl. Her name was Jane. This song was played over and over; it has stayed with me. I hope that life has gone well for Jane; she deserved it.
