i remember when gas was less than 50 cents a gallon my step dad owned a filling station lol remember calling gas stations that. And a snickers candy bar was 25 cents. Pop came in glass bottles. Your dad had an electric antenna outside the house and it would make a "chunk ca chunk" sound when he turned it to another position.
Singer songwriters like Cat Stevens and Gordon Lightfoot
Ike and Tina Turner and who could forget Ed Sullivan and the Beatles
I am a late boomer too, and i really identify with Gen Xers because my parents divorced when i was 8 and i had to step up and raise my 2 yr old brother, my mom moved us hundreds of miles away from our dad and we had to fend for ourselves when she wasn't home and that was often. I was a latch key kid. But i loved the life of being independent.
Remember the old record players that were a fold up case with a handle. and putting nickels on the arm so the record wouldn't skip. those were the days.

YOU LAUGH BECAUSE I AM DIFFERENT, I LAUGH BECAUSE YOU ARE ALL THE SAME


Don't only practice your Art,
But force your way through into its secrets,
For it and Knowledge can
Raise men to the Divine.
Beethoven
