Agreed on the latter part of your comment. Watching the behavior, clothing, cars, hair styles, etc. brought back a flood of memories of my Dad (Korean War vet) as he appeared while pursuing the American Dream during the same period.

“I learned to despise Democrats(LBJ), distrust Black culture(Watts riots), like Santana’s music ( I lived in Paramount Ca),and to get the heck out of Cailfornia.
It was failing.”

I remember the Watts riots. August, 1965. We were at the beach, and someone had a transistor radio (remember those?), to listen to KRLA or a baseball game. Instead, we listened to the news reports of the riots (which had really started the night before, but we had kind of brushed it off; the next day, though...). There were reports on the radio about rioters screaming about “marching” to the beaches. We looked at each other and said, “they’ll never come this far.” The “troubles” got as far west as Inglewood, in isolated scatters, but not as bad as east. We lived near the border of Playa del Rey and Westchester (Westchester was the next town west of Inglewood, and Play del Rey was the beach). The local sporting goods stores were doing a land office business in gun sales (back in those days you could buy a gun and walk out with it). But, even before the riots pretty much every house in our neighborhood had some kind of firearm; it was just common.
