LOL..I just put you in my mind, holding a guitar and singing this George Jones tune:
"I don't need your rockin' chair
Your geritol or your medicare
'Cause I still got neon in my veins
This gray hair don't mean a thing
I ain't ready for the junkyard yet
'Cause I still feel like a new Corvette
It may take a little longer but I'll get there
Well I don't need your rockin' chair"
Only as old as you feel! I may be getting up there in the eyes of some kids, but I still feel like i'm in my prime! And you are still in yours too! Its all about attitude Jack so get yer butt outta that rocking chair and dance like the fool that you are!

I miss the 50s...60s...even the 70s. We could have just skipped the 80s and 90s!

i do agree with sleek on that one.
However, I really dont think i would like the 50s 60s or 70s. The 50s were a time ruled by the government, i am not that fond of them to start out with. i couldnt deal with Mccarthism. The 60s were okay, just kinda strange. The 70's was full of sex and a war torn society. The sexual revolution brought STDs to the society of now. What was so great about life back then? I am not too fond of now though.

Hiya sleek! GTO's were hot but they couldn't keep up with the Hemi Darts! Nastiest street car ever made in USA. Not a pretty car but nothing could catch it:
Hemi Dart
There was a saying in the sixties: "Make love, not war." Well, it's forty years later and nothing has changed. People are f***ing and murdering just as much as back then. Don't blame the Seventies for how f***ed up the world is today. I lived the Seventies - I know.
Peace

Sex? Yes. War? Yes, but there has been sex and war in every decade (You haven't forgotten Iraq already, have you?). The Sexual Revolution didn't bring STD's to society; they were always there. One thing free and open sex did do was show people that they had to be careful; before the Sexual Revolution fear and ignorance and shame caused people to die horrible, needless deaths and to have unplanned, unwanted pregnancies. AIDS was the big killer of "casual" sex, for a while at least.
