What do you remember about the 60's or if younger, the 70's? ( Archived) (104)

My dad's brown nylon suit elegantly twinned with socks and sandals.

I still have the circular dial telephone from my childhood.

I remember segregation, Sundown Towns, and a girl I was playing cards with being ordered to leave the seat and go to the back of the bus when we crossed a State line. I remember Elvis and the Beatles. I remember the Dallas book depository, a guy named Sirhan Sirhan, a man named Martin Luther King and a sick crazy guy named James Earl Ray. I remember staying up to 2AM to watch the Eagle land. I remember Woodstock and the Tet Offensive and a picture of a little girl running down the road screaming with her back covered with flaming napalm.

I remember no seat belts, no air conditioning in cars. Smoking in stores, resteraunts they did not have a warning lable on the pack of smokes then. I remember Michael Jackson as a little boy. Ed Sullivan show. There were no cordless phones none the less mobile phones. I remember gathering soda bottles to take to the store for a deposit money where I could buy candy. Doctors made house calls. I remember hearing of the Charles Manson trials on the news. And I remember they use to have cigarette comercials on tv but would of never had an ad for tampons or kotex. The first time they did we were eating dinner and my dad got up run over and turned the tele off. I thought he was going to have a stroke. I remember thinking that my life would always be like it was. I would not age. I would not have responsibility. My time would be spent lazing around the beach and bon fires at night with friends. Ok enough from me

V-jeans, vinyl records and ABBA (Dancing Queen)

You remember segregation? Golly. It wasn't all that long ago, eh? And still such a long way to go.

are v-jeans like inverse bell bottom jeans? maybe either would be popular worn in discos or while spiking the mike on a mobile cb radio.
