This is great ~~ nostalgia and lots of smiles, but the 60's were sure times of change and disruption.

Some other things to keep in mind:

-John F. Kennedy defeats Richard Nixon by a margin of 100,000 fraudulant votes.

-Barry Goldwater launches the modern conservative movement with his nomination as the GOP's presidential candidate in 1964.

-More men volunteered to serve in Vietnam than went to jail or Canada.

-Decades before Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly, Joe Pyne got big ratings as a nationally syndicated confrontational talk-show host, taking on the likes of Black Panthers, cult leaders and assorted weirdos of the day.

What a great link! I was 13 in 1960 and lived through the flushing of our society down the toilet!

"Wasn't the original hit song "A Summer Place" done by Percy Faith Orchestra?"

Yes, and it was called "Theme from A Summer Place". It was the first song I ever played on each Heathkit stereo system I ever built!

The opening graphic says the Big Mac cost .28 cents in 1960. McDonald's did not introduce the Big Mac until 1968.

Hate to be picky because I love these "remember when?" videos. Love the music...

I just wanted to get six or seven--though these are no doubt also important...
