Remember almost all of it - never got the whole "James Dean" thing though, always looked like he was trying to ease one out....

It's the Statler Brothers singing BTW. There are other versions of them doing it with different images. "Moon" hubcaps? -- definitely remember them! I had baby moons on my new '68 Camaro. They were still "a thing" then. . |

Oldsters tend to remember the good stuff..
I went to school in the 50's with kids stricken with polio walking with double canes and I hid under sheets in the hallways during school drills in case Russia dropped "the big one". Lots of other examples. HOWEVER, the country and globe were a better place to live then, than now IMO. |

We did the Russian bomb drills in the hallway too. As a kid, I couldn't figure out why the Russian people hated us. At some point I realized they didn't -- the problem was THE GOVERNMENTS, not the Russian people or us. Now our own government is weaponized against us, after a century of Marxists undermining and taking over everything. Their biggest enemy is always their own people. |
