I am wanting to write a story based on a young adult in the 1960s. Since I was born in 1973 all I really know is what I studied in books. But, I want to get beyond love beads and LSD. I want to be able to write this as it really was. I know it's said if you remember the '60s you weren't really there. But, if anyone does remember I would appreciate reading your stories and facts. Thank you.
I remember our doctor making house calls...
"Mr. Ed"
What ???? No mention of the Rambler ???
I'm hurt.... ;)
Star Trek
"a song not played on KLIF or KBOX and I thought it was so cool, kinda like learning about a foreign culture. :)"
And then KBOX went country. Jimmy Rabbit had it all to himself... but the rest of us listened to Library of Laffs on WRR.
And nobody knew what "Louie, Louie" said, but we were pretty sure it was dirty.

LOL! You sure brought back some memories with that remark!!
Shari Lewis. My dad worked with her father, which I thought was way cool.
That's so wild you should post this. I used to wonder for days on end what Zanzibar and Crepe Suzettes were.
Only three TV channels, and one newspaper all controlled by the same libtard cabal, all parroting the same libtard lies. Those of us with a brain knew Walter Crankcase was a liar, the rest, they just looked in the Sunday newspaper before the election and voted the way the newspaper said.
I saw the lyrics to "Louie, Louie" in the newspaper about 7 years ago. There was mention of how everyone thought that the lyrics were dirty -- I know my girlfriends and I did. But the words were actually quite respectable.
I can sing it with great, great teenage angst and *feeling* after much mirror practice!
(dramatic) *Sole ... djur ... Boy ...
Oh, my little sole - djur boy ... (da-da-dum) ...
I'll be trooooo tooooo you!
You were my first love
And you'll be my last love ...
I will never make you blue ...
I'll be true to you!
In the whole world,
You can love but one girl ...
Let *me* be that one girl ...
For I'll be true to you!
Wherever you go ...
My-y heart will follow ...
I love you so ...
I'll be true to you!
Take my love with you
To any port or foreign shore!
Darling, you must feel for sure
That I'll be true to you!
(more drama) Sole ... djur ... Boy!
Oh, my little sole - djur boy ... (da-da-dum) ...
I'll ... be ... trooooo ... tooooo ... yoooo!
For the more militant of us, remember West of the Wall?
How did I just know the talking horse was going to come up...
"A horse is a horse, of course of course..."
And the Metropolitan (though those started in the 50s)...
Thank you for your service.
Yeah, Shari Lewis. I have a little mini - Lamb Chop even now. Loved the way her eyelashes went when she was "smiling" and Shari was bunching up her hand to make the lashes kind of flutter.
Jimi Hendrix at the Houston Music Hall....I was there......
