I feel old because I can remember hearing Beatles songs on the radio and they were new releases. Then The Monkees was still running on television and the motels made a huge deal that they had color television. Seems like a zillion years ago. But the US wasn't in debt in those days and we were sending rockets to the moon still.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar! -

Yeah.....I remember at school when Boris Karloff died, all my friends were saying "Hey Frankenstein died!". I remember when Walt Disney died.
Every night on the Huntley/Brinkley report or Uncle Walt's show, there were reports about Vietnam, and President Johnson and his cast of people. Stuff about Martin Luther King. Race riots in '65.
The 60s was a wild decade. Complete upsetting of the status quo. I used to watch American Bandstand every Saturday to see what rock bands they had on. I watched the Beatles at Shea Stadium, as for the first time in history, one of the Big 3 networks broadcast the concert live on prime time TV. Did not realize it had been broadcast in color until the Beatles anthology was on cable in the 90s, as my family did not have a color TV until about 1969.
Though I do not recall the news reports of Woodstock, I do recall the news reports during the Summer of Love (1967) because there was this mass exodus of hippies from all over the US who decided to travel to San Francisco with flowers in their hair.
Of course being a kid, I did not get the full impact of all the stuff that was going on at the time. I was too busy being a kid, lol.Comment

A color television in the late 60's was $2000-3000 in 1960's dollars. You could buy a Volkswagen Beetle for about the same price as a color television in those days. Our next door neighbor ordered a Heathkit color television and put it together in his basement. Lot's of parts to solder together and amazingly enough it actually worked when he was done. Having a large color TV console in those days was the equivalent of having a $20,000 home theater today.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

My grandmother had the money. She lived in a big house, drove a big Cadillac and had a huge Zenith color television console with the remote control, stereo, turntable, and AM/FM receiver. We used to go have dinner every Sunday and watch the Wonderful World of Disney and Mutual of Omaha's wild kingdom on it. I remember a lot of times the adults would take over and flip the channel to Lawrence Welk. That was always a huge bummer.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

It's hard not to feel old when you see the birthdate on the data sheet of a Playboy centerfold and discover she's 20 years younger than you are..Comment
