I love Woody Allen's comment on the basic worth of California...he said something like “in California the height of culture is the ability to take a right turn on a red light”.

Dead Man's Curve, about five miles north of Lebec, Calif. on the Tejon Grade. This was part of the old Ridge Route between Los Angeles and Bakersfield and was so named because it was the scene of numerous accidents. It is now bypassed by Interstate 5.

There’s someone on FR who experienced the Southern Calif coastal living in his late teens to roughly 30 I think.

It’s all there - the cars, the girls, the beach. Not to mention the freedom.

His stories would make any normal guy GREEN with envy. Those days must have been glorious.

the anthems of the California coastal lifestyle.

"There's a place in Hawaii called Waimea Bay
Where the best surfers in the world come to stay."
-- "Ride the Wild Surf"

Doesn't exactly sound like the CALIFORNIA lifestyle if it's in Hawaii.

my first cassette tape was by Jan and Dean. if I had a dollar for every time and every mile I drive while listening to that tape....well, you know.

for a kid growing up in the 70s living in a landlocked county the surf music sound had a great appeal during the summer.

I always hated leaving the beach from vacation.

Keep that summer dream alive!

“Of the past, Torrence says simply: “It’s in the past. I guess I’m blessed enough to have thousands of things I’m as interested in – stuff I haven’t done yet. I feel sorry for those people who only have the past as the only good time they’ve ever had.”

What a great comment.
