“Ahhh - The new opiate of the masses”
These used to be passed out pretty freely to women by the older doctors.
During my marriage, my wife that was in her teens and then her early twenties always got whatever she wanted as far as Quaaludes and Valium even though we moved a lot during our marriage.
I never even knew why she needed them but I did learn that a huge percent of American women were moving through society stoned on legal prescriptions during those days.
That is why in the late sixties the kids could just look in people’s medicine cabinets for the highest quality drugs.
What a drag it is getting old
Kids are different today,
I hear evry mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though shes not really ill
Theres a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of a mothers little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day
Things are different today,
I hear evry mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husbands just a drag
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter of a mothers little helper
And two help her on her way, get her through her busy day
Ah yes , the seventies, ...peace, free love, turn on, tune in, drop out.
