had to go thru pocketbooks in the morning sometimes to look for ID and a name... guess you weren't there

Just heard Alice Cooper's Schools Out song. Reminded me of the 60's when there was so much 'free love'. Looking back I don't believe it. Just the media's attempt that it was all-out there for the taking and you were missing out if you weren't getting it. Drugs and music were the SUBSTITUTES for sex. Women were out there but not as available as the media would have you believe. Being easily led again.
My mom has notified me that she will not discuss the sixties until we are both wearing adult diapers.
Speak for yourself!
The media traffics in exaggeration, untruths and hyperbole. It serves their own “professional” and commercial interests.
I don’t know what decade you grew up in, but in the late 80s and early 90s it was REALLY easy to get a woman to go to your place or hers the SAME NIGHT you met her.
I’m not saying I did or didn’t.
I’m just saying it was really easy.
And my nephews tell me now all it takes is buy em a drink or a burger and you’re in.
Not that THEY do that. But that’s what they tell me.
Love is freer than ever.
Except it’s not free. The women are paying a terrible price in giving away the milk so easily.
No need for the cow.
Sorry you weren’t getting any.
I had to fend them off with a stick.
Actually, I was in my twenties by
then, and not particularly trying.
But did alright, anyway.
It’s probably easier today, with all
the ‘hooking up’ and little to no
stigma attached to living together
while unmarried, not to mention the
‘single mom’ phenomenon.
I guess the point is that love is a
lot freer now than it was back then.
So ease up on harshing the Age of Aquarius.
‘Cause girls on drugs are notorious for their chastity....
I graduated in 65. There were no drugs or really even disussions of drugs. I heard that maybe 10-15 years later they had caught on.
No sex either, at least with the girls we wanted. There were two rumors going around about two really hot girls, I didn’t believe them but recently found out one rumor was probably true.
Another really salacious rumor just might have been true too.
We did like rock and roll.
I was around in the 60s, in Kindergarten when I heard JFK was shot, the only time I was inside when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon and watching the ICE Bowl...The 70s was the decade I enjoyed..with me watching Nixon beat McGovern in my high school dorm, asking my friend about his governor (he was from Georgia and Jimmy was unknown. Should’ve stayed unknown.) And graduating in 1976...and telling my college PoliSci instructor that I wouldn’t vote for Carter for dog catcher. (In the general election, wrote in Ronald W. Reagan)
There’s not much call for bulls, either.
It looks like the fish found her bicycle.
Living alone and loving it. ;)
During the late 1970s, when I was going through high school, that was our "last day of school" anthem. One year, some of my fellow students hijacked the school PA system and played this song throughout the school (for about 30 seconds before the principal's secretary re-gained control) the afternoon of our last day of school. Fun times.
Alice Cooper (real name Vinnie Furnier) is a pretty down-to-earth guy and has lived a relatively conservative and decent life (by rock and roll standards, anyhow). I have respect for his songwriting and musicianship and he always put on a good show.
The whole "Alice Cooper" thing is just a stage act.
Yeah. I survived the late 60s and 70s. I’m sure I ‘got me some’ a heck of a lot more than my counterparts in the 50s early 60s.
It was…a different time, to be sure.
LOL
Abortion was not that available in the 60’s and the pill was not that safe so something tells me there was a lot of phony sex going on. Playboy magazine certainly did their part and Hefner’s death brought out the objectification issues with women.
The 60’s protested everything so sex would be part of it. I just don’t think it was that big a part of it. It certainly got caught up in it.
Why would anyone want drugs if sex was so available? Sex was frosting on the cake. No need for drugs.
I graduated from High School in Southern California in ‘66. YMMV. It seems to me that what most people think of as the Sixties, didn’t actually happen until the seventies.

TV's all over the house I'm told.
