Through it all, we didn’t know how good it was I think.
Hamburger stands, it was about the last time SNL was funny in any form, PC virtually didn’t exist, music was good (mostly) and we still had the cars.
Shoot, I regularly turned on my radio and heard this:

And back then, gay men dressing up as women were rejected as mental cases by most of the public.
“Through it all, we didn’t know how good it was I think.”
We had NO idea how good it was. And we thought it would never end.
We had two hamburger joints in our town and the kids would spend Friday and Saturday nights cruising between the two. Cold beer, hot nights, hotter girls and souped up rides.
A Sheriff’s Deputy gave us access to a pasture he wasn’t using to hang out at. Built a fire, drank our beer, necked with the girls and listened to the music.
We were living the good life and didn’t even know it.
