    Here is a song from the 1960's that is spot on for 2024. A record that describes where we are today, sad times. 81 years old

      Your story is not unusual for the young ppl of your generation, that’s why our music was so good because it reflected us and who we were. We loved everybody and accepted the fact that no 2 ppl were alike and our mantra was “Live and let live”. We fought against the government, not against each other. I’ve heard that music has a high impact on the life and times of all. I have witnessed this statement. The last few decades was called rap but all I heard was talking hate toward cops, degradation of women, sex without love, hate for the country etc. to a beat meant to cause agitation in the head and soul and look around at what’s going on in the world today.

Your neighbor was no different than any other, I didn’t see or feel blacks whites racism at school or work, and I’m from the south, I truly loved all my friends at school (no color seen)and I still wish that it would not be any colors we are just human Americans or if you not American then are you legally trying to become one😜I sure hope so! If not make sure your family is with you and close around the ending of January and God Bless all on your journey! America has to worry about born lived here Americans

      Bill, those fifty years are almost my entire life. The twin dreams of 60's, peace and civil rights, have not been fulfilled but we're getting closer. It's no longer just a few people marching and protesting. Just look at how many Americans of all races and creeds came out last summer after the murder of George Floyd and then we voted to remove trump. Look at how Americans have condemned the Jan 6th Insurrection. The battle to defeat racism and extremism will be long, but much progress has been made. Symbols and statues representing hate are coming down The "n" word, so common and so casually uttered in my childhood, is no longer tolerated. Our children live in a multicultural and multiracial country and they are being taught to love our diversity, not hate and fear it. Humans are flawed, tribal creatures in an imperfect world, but despite long odds we are making progress. Have hope and keep working to make your corner of the world better.

Black, White, Greek, Italian, Polish, German etc. And all the different foods every one of us had to offer. It was the best city to live in back then. Feel bad for the condition it's in right now.

When I left the building, there must have been a thousand people outside holding lit cigarette lighters showing their love and admiration for the group. He was a local guy, born in Denton, TX, who had made it big and had a huge fan base in the DFW area. He is loved by all.
