Huh. I know I spelled the word "risqué" right when I typed it. It auto-corrected to put the accent over the "e," but it came out in the post with that character completely missing. Let's see if it does it again.

(Sorry for the digression.)

eta: Yep, it did it again, took the last letter completely out. When I hit "preview post," it looked right. I spelled it r-I-s-q-u-e. Well, shoot, now the "I" keeps auto-correcting to a capital. Darned computers. smiley for :crazy:

My kind of treadmill music...

Now THAT'S my sort of relaxing music.
One of the songs we used to do the "stroll" to at teen town.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrGLNtZ0rEg

Ok, ok! It WAS cool back then. smiley for :blush:

Oh, gosh, those kids look so innocent and shy! Some of the braver ones threw in a couple of twirls! A bygone era, for sure. It was a teensy bit before my time, but I enjoyed watching that. smiley for :)

Bob, while you were doing the stroll, it seems the kids visiting summer resorts in the Catskills with their parents were dancing like this. The movie was supposed to take place in 1963. I dunno......it's a little risqué. smiley for ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x43vK0k6A2I

Not in my hood! LOL! I will say about the riskiest dancing was doing "The dog". That got me kicked out of one teen town. smiley for :blush:

Elvis was still taboo to many "old farts". smiley for :D

I love watching "American Graffiti". My high school graduation yr after 5 long years. LOL!
That's about as accurate for that time period as you can get to describe the changes coming.
The song "American Pie" describes the loss of innocence pretty accurately. Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper (J.P. Richardson, Ritchie Valense died in a plane crash just a few yrs earlier then the Viet Nam and drugs hit big.
Before that time drugs were something you didn't see a lot of. Note it wasn't even brought up in the American "Grafiti".
I grew up on the City's North side. It was and still is the high crime rate for the area so we saw more then the burb kids but it was still not common unless you knew where the bad spots were.
During my senior yr I moved from the City's North Side to the North County area. Back then it was night and day from the city. My sisters said the diifference was like comparing Elvis to Pat Boone. smiley for :D

By the time I married in 67 things had changed. Not always for the better IMHO. We just moved out of the old area about 6-7 yrs ago. To many drugs, drive bys, murders, etc way to close to home.
Still in the North County area but a much better area. Life is good!

February 3, 1959, the day the music died. smiley for :(

I love the movie and the soundtrack "American Graffiti," too!

In 1967, my family spent almost the entire summer at a small lake resort about 45 minutes from our house. (Nothing as fancy as the one in "Dirty Dancing.") But my parents and my best friend's parents organized some dances for the teenagers. I wasn't quite a teenager, but my girlfriend and I thought it was pretty cool that we were allowed to attend. The dancing was pretty tame, as I recall. smiley for ;)

I graduated from a suburban high school in '73, and some of the "faster" kids were using a few substances, but seems like the thing the school officials were most concerned with was this kind of stuff:

Sooo, THE (only) alternative rock station in NOLA dissolved. In a desperate search for a suitable replacement format, I was scanning my car radio this a.m. when I came across an eighties station. I now have numerous earworms crawling around in my skull...

Strangely enough, I had heard a little bit about "What About Me" and how/when/why it was written, but had never heard the actual song!

Pomplamoose!

Nice selections, Duane and Kristin! (Bummer about your radio station, Duane.) I've said it before, but one of the things I like about this thread is being exposed to new (to me) songs and artists that I'm sure I would never have heard of otherwise. And in the case of Kristin's post, learning what a Video Song is. smiley for :)
