Best of Times

Here's a great video. If you were there in the 50s, you already know this. If not, the video will explain it better than I.Glad to experance just a little part of it.

Still lost in the 50s...Tedd

Stuck in the 60's can apply also, great video, I was born 58. A few friends and I had a conversation recently on where our culture, economy, young people, and country as a whole is heading, and we all agree, times were much simpler when we were young. From politics, to technology, to lifestyles, me personally (as I hammer away on my keyboard) I don't see anything good for our future.

We are doomed! History shows us the cycle of civilizations.

A lot of Olds cars in the vid!

I am sure in the 20's senior folk were lamenting the fact that the "simpler times" of the 1900's and 1910's were lost forever and the world most definitely was going to hell in a hand basket.

That was great! Also watched Parts II and III as they showed up on the screen after Part I was done. Doesn't get much better. Same with Stuck in the 60s. I was born in '51 so I catch both decades!

Yes they did, however...
