let's see.. I was kind of young in the 60's and here is what I remember.

we played records on a victrola, TV was black and white and we had one TV in the house, the TV had tubes and had to be warmed up, the tubes got hot; we listened to a transistor radio, many of the boys used a kit to make their own crystal radio, the milk man delivered our milk, an Italian peddler would drive around to sell vegetables, man landed on the moon and the entire world was watching it on tv, cars were big and made out of steel, gas was cheap, trains went through towns, there was a lot of pollution and most hospitals and apartments incinerated their garbage daily, we could burn our leaves in the back yard, we could throw anything out in the garbage, the air smelled, if you had a stereo you were rich, most music was played on AM radio, we had one phone in the house, it was black and in the kitchen, had a dial and a real bell rang, long distance was expensive, there were riots and cities were closed down at night,

Yeah, I remember we burned our garbage in steel 55 gallon drums (but wrapped leftovers in newspaper and didn't burn it, not sure why). It was so cool to sneak in an empty aerosol can and wait for it to blow up, Easy-Off cans made for the best percussion.
