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)
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.
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.

Heh! As it happens, while I’m reading this thread Muscle of Love starts playing on my self-built Pandora channel.
I recall back Junior High, St. Cecilia Catholic School. On the first Thursday of the month, we used to have what were called ‘Sock-Hops’ after school.
Some of us did ‘Social Dancing’, or slow dancing, where you actually got to hold the girl for a while. Two popular songs for ‘Social Dancing’ were;
“I Found Love On A Two Way Street”, another was “La-La-La- Means I Love You.” For the Rockers, they played “Bang A Gong” by T-Rex or “Crimson In Clover” by Tommy James & the Shondells, or “Brown Sugar” by Rolling Stones.
The Nuns stood by near the walls acting as eagle-eyed chaperones, holding there yardsticks to tap students who became ‘too activated’ with their dance partners.
Sock Hops is where the tables in the cafeteria were folded up and stacked near the walls. The students would have a few hours to eat junk food and dance in our socks. Socks, so that we didn’t mark up the janitors’s newly waxed floors.
We had about two hours for fun. After that, the tables were put back out on the floor, in preparation for Bingo Thursday.
Lots of the elder members of the parish would be waiting for us to clean up and clear out.
“Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll” - Ian Dury and the Blockheads - great version up on youtube.
Y’all might want to stop by...
I beg to differ. I was there.
