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

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!
Hate to be picky because I love these "remember when?" videos. Love the music...
That too...
I just wanted to get six or seven--though these are no doubt also important...
