- The Iconic MUSIC Scene of May 1965, is Impossible to Find Today! May 1965 is filled with music, fashion and live performances that reflect the feeling of a bright, creative, modern world where anything is possible. A new surrealistic sound dripping in imagery emerges that no one saw coming from a musician who paints the cultural changes with vivid imagery and a never before heard sound. Marianne Faithfull describes his music, “The zeitgeist streamed through him like electricity.”

The sixties were the pinnacle of not only music but fashion as well! Great time to be alive!
💯
The 60s in America also had some bad ass in your face cars.
‘68 & ‘69 were my best and favorite years ever! I saw and heard many of the most amazing bands… Janus Joplin, The Rolling Stones, Jefferson Airplane, Jim Morrison and the Doors. I ‘m so glad my memories of the 60s are still sharp and intact, and rock remains my favorite music.
@@matroxCamaros!
If you were not around in America during any part of the 1950s-1970s then you missed the show.
Missed the show that you miss so terribly now, you mean.
Meanwhile, YOU are missing the show NOW.
Sure I was alive in the 60s and 70s. But I don't waste my time pining for the past.
I'm finding awesome new music, and plenty of amazing subculture scenes to be a part of.
So try leaving your house instead of obsessing over the past.
@@railgap- Although you have a good and positive point, sTill, it is possibly partially correct.
The several times i've engaged in an Elvis comment thread, it seems typical that a Michael Jackson, etc, defendant has posted.
The comparing thing can drive ya mOre nUtz, lol.
i think the song, "Eve Of Destruction" might have been ahead of its time in some 'retro' rock way.
(( I miss the pining years!- "There comes a time"- Neil Young
@@railgap The music scene we have now is the twitching corpse of what was once a vibrant creative movement. And what's more, you know it.
@matrox. Well, in a way I did miss the show in a way. May 1965, I was 19 years old, in the Marines and fighting in the Jungles of Vietnam. I rotated back in March of 1966 at 20 years old. But I think we all made up for it.
@@user-wk2zb4ss1k Do you know the big sh#t type who have said things like, 'i was in Vietnam'- and they're like some kind of Mason with a boom stick-, mostly to put thy neighbor in some kind of unnecessary fear ?
Me n m friends had worn your silver bracelets, name, date, rank. Y'all wERE "the unseen show". 'The techies, the road crew for all the great bands, both near and far, , sir!
And it sTill remains from the bottom of our drifting sOULS!!!
THANK YOUuuuuuuuu🌲🌹💙

There isn't any music "scene" today. It's just a bunch of minimally-talented drones in a hive.
They are those chosen by the Chosen - but before one becomes famous one must convert to Luciferianism. Sadly, this is not a joke.
Sad but true.

@@maguffintop2596 There's medication for it too. Get help.
Back then everyone followed the music - now chasing money is the game. Prefer the music... 😊
I was an 18 year old then. And I often say when asked if I could be that age again, would I? Answer: Yes..if it was 1965. No, if it was today’s world. No thanks!
I turned 17 in 1965. To be blunt, in 1965 they created music, today they manufacture noise.
Same age here...
I was 17 also. Just loved that time.
The mid 50s to 82 was the best era to live in
I'd say up to the mid 90s or so then the gradual drop off up to today of my total dismay at the music charts
@@stevedickson5853 Yeah, crappy lyrics with posers who rely on auto tunes.
I take it you weren't drafted.
@hiramnoone 😆 🤣 - Awesome 👌 ! The OP , an obvious Bot as well.
@@hiramnoone Now why would I be drafted for a USA war on people that they had no business being in
I was born in 1945 and in college in the 60s. What I know is we were for more serious about music, and it was far more important to us than younger people now.
Your comment just shows you don't know young people now.
@@billselznick586 Yes I do because I have 5 grandchildren 20 and under. They like music but they are nowhere near as serious about it as we were. We took music very seriously back then. Now they just listen to it as a light entertainment. Even the local garage band was treated like heroes.
I was 18 in 1965. I can't put my finger on it, but it was almost like something magical was happening. It was in the air. Did I mention that the band I was in, opened for Jimi Hendrix the first time he performed in DC. I guess I did - and Yes, he was that good!
I was 15 and I'm so glad that I grew up during this time!
You’re one of the lucky ones!
🙋♀️me, too. I was 12 yrs. old, happy and free ... nowadays, if I feel down I take myself back with fond memories.
Me also, I was 14. For many youths, Elvis was still King. For many others, the Beatles were the thing. ❤❤
@@Skylark0fNYC
I was the youngest member of a branch (in New Jersey) of the official Beatles Fan Club. It wasn't all hearts 'n roses. The older girls were die-hard Beatle-maniacs and real bossy. If ya didn't do what they said ... pow!
Lol.
@@LucyLennon20 Wow! That's a great memory. Even "the Mean Girls" of the club behaving badly! It's good to laugh now at how they were. (Hopefully they improved with time!)
Like the song says, "Hold on to the sixties as long as you can!" ❤️❤️
Born in 1950.. it’s a memory for me not something I have to imagine.. thank goodness! It was so much fun!!!!
So cool
I was only 6 years old, but I would come to know and love this music. With four older siblings playing music how could I not. The 60’s and 70’s can’t be matched. ☺️🤩
Same age, same feeling.
How cool to be in a music family during this time period!
I was a hockey player and fan. The 'culture' we experience in our 'tween' years is very impressionable on us. In 1965 I was 12, but I had an older brother! Lucky I did NOT imitate him. Looking back I was NOT a big fan of the "British Invasion". I enjoyed the innocence of the teeny bopper USA love songs more.
Born in '66, grew up from insemination with the "greatest music ever" pumping through the womb, affecting my life immensely til I was 20 yrs old...
No other time can beat the 60's and 70's.
💯
They were the best!
The 80's were the last of the good times. Then came rap...
Like I said before, the great decades don't end on the calendar change, "0" they end when innovation becomes copied repetition with no signs of positive change...
There was a feeling at the time that we as a people were on the verge of discovering the meaning of Life the Universe and Everything.
That’s amazing
@@freewheelingideas Not only music (which was great) but in science. We were going to put a man on the moon and then on to Mars. We went from black & white TV to color. There were massive civil rights movements. Everywhere we looked the future was coming hard and fast.
I was born in 1965...my older sisters were born in 1950 and 1953. My house was filled with great music. The oldest was a Monkees fan and the middle child was into Carole King and Mowtown. Then came me...I was into a lot of 70s music including Disco!😮
"Mr. Holland's Opus" takes place over my entire lifetime.
As an adult, I became a NYC cabaret singer. I sang anything from the 1930s thru the 70s. Good times!
That’s so cool
I remember 1966 hearing Donovan Sunshine Superman as a 5 year old at the public pool. Todays music SUCKS. The Beach Boys, the Monkees, the Beatles, the Stones, the Kinks will never be topped. Color TV came out in 65, I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, Gilligan's Island ....I loved Jeannie!
Color TV started in 1948... early 1950s episodes of The Cisco Kid were in color... eventually more and more people got color capable TVs...
@@buzzwaldron6195 But 1965 was the year the networks made the big switch to transmitting in color (at least in the U.S.). Shows such as Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie and many others made the switch from B&W over 1965-66. Nearly everything was in color from there forward.
(It was, by the way, the year we got our first color TV.)
I love the nostalgic look back on music, fashion & pop culture of the 60s but what really blows my mind is how little money it took to live a middle class lifestyle compared to today. I know what my parents paid for their first house circa 1970(under 20k) & it now lists for 1 million. I was only 5 in 65 but I have a lot of memories of the decade being very optimistic about the future (at least in America which recovered from the war much faster than the UK) The 70s were very different after multiple assassinations, Vietnam, Watergate, gas crisis, rising crime rates..the 60s were a special time & deserve to be remembered.
I know the cost of basics these days is out of control!
And it could all be financed by a single income.
I was born in 1960 and the world changed forever. 😊
😄😄😄
I got engaged May 1965! We celebrate 58 yrs this October!
I was born in 1989 but absolutely love the music of 65.
Awesome!! Glad to hear that!
I was 16 in May of '65 with a fresh new driver's license. It was a great time to be a teenager.
Cool 😎
Born in may 1949 Same age as you and still enjoying the music of the 60s Cheers and may you be healthy and have long life
Looking over those '65 GTOs...
I turned 14 in '65, and was also excited to be driving---with a Learner's Permit and adult on board. LOL! So very long ago...
@@commonsense6967 - We had to be 15 1/2 here in Ohio...
Brown-Eyed Girl by Van Morrison ❤
I was 15 in 1965 here in the UK and I enjoyed listening to Cliff Richard and the Shadows, Elvis Presley and Motown among others. When the Beatles, came onto the scene along with other groups and singers from Liverpool a couple of years later the music industry really changed in the UK and across the world. The fashion industry changed also and was extremely successful especially among young people. A wonderful time to be in during the 1960's and 1970's. Music of today is different and will probably not be remembered as much as the music of the music I enjoyed during my time as a teenager.
😎 Thanks for sharing!
Cliff Richard had only one or two hits in US, but I know how popular he was in UK, and places such as Hong Kong.
I was 6 and loved the Hermit's....also the Beatles cartoon show!....Pet Clark was huge too and surprisingly not mentioned here.
She’s in other videos on the channel
Pet is still singing isn’t she? She was a couple years ago when I looked. So many hits and the first pop song I remember from when I was 5 is Downtown. That was in 1964 in Columbus OH.
@@philmiska7295 Yes, I was 5 also living in NYC....Hearing it always brings be back to that time...and I always thought it was about NYC downtown...
Getting ready for high school with radio on and this song comes on and blows me away. Completely different music which I instinctively know will be my generations. The Beatles obsession hits us and high school like a bomb with the girls claiming each Beatle. I was cute one, Paul. The boys transform into Beatle boots and long hair. The 60's were truly magical.
Sounds like Great memories!
I was in High school in 1965. Yes it was a great time to be alive. Jobs were everywhere. High paying jobs at the aircraft plants. Pepsi Cola was a dime. Everyone wanted a new Mustang, but few could afford one. Go Go boots and 57 Chevys were cool. Old Packard's and Nash Ramblers were for squares. The Beatles ran The Beach Boys and Elvis right off the radio. I remember seeing the Beatles on the ED Sullivan show on TV. My sister thought it was the greatest thing ever. I thought it was nothing special and would rather watch Mr. Ed instead. 😊
Jobs galore and Vietnam made the economy take off .
Beverly Hillbillies was my dad's favorite. Elly Mae gave my pop a new way of looking at life.
I was 14 and a half on May, 1965. I grew up in Manhattan. I went to NYC public schools (real different from British public school).
One memory I love is that there weren't radio stations that specialized in racial sounds. We all listened to the same rock 'n roll radio. The Beatles followed the Supremes followed by Bob Dylan followed by ... (take your pick). There were genre stations (classical, jazz, big band, etc). But as for the young people's music, we grooved to each others' music.
Ah, the good ole days!
You certainly captured that time. It was a time when if we were going to San Francisco, we wore flowers in our hair. (Or, we were quickly building to that era.)❤️❤️
Amazing! Thank you for sharing 🙏
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️!
@@bbelindamorris6384 Ty! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Don't forget The Who..did they have Mods in the US? .
@@stevedickson5853 Some, mostly in big cities like the East Coast or Midwest (Chicago, for example). But we're rather large, so there were competing movements. The Beatniks were no longer so popular. But the back-to-the-land hippies type were growing. (They were not to be confused with the hard core drug-sex-and-roch-n-roll hippies.) Then there were the folk song types (Dylan, Baez, etc.). And the California surfer types (foremost being the Beach Boys).And rock n roll (which will never die) as those stars were still young-ish. Elvis was King, of course. And Motown! Back in the day, most all youth grooved to Motown. It was in particular in Detroit. So different areas of the USA went different directions. Mod was one of many directions. We all embraced one or more types of styles. Variety is always the spice of life! ❤️❤️
Paul Revere and the Raiders, Syndicate of sound-Little Girl, Windy The Association, Wild Thing The Troggs etc. remember them well.
I was five months in the womb in May '65. I was born in Columbus, Ohio October 13th. The same time the Doors were forming. They've always been my favorite band.
Cool there’s some Doors videos on the channel
I do miss that year. I came to Canada from Hungary in 1965! I was 10. And musicwise, the late 50s, 60s and very cary 70s were the best.
I was 20 years old in May of 1965. I was living in Menlo Park, California, 31 miles south of San Francisco. Everywhere there was a wonderful party, and everyone was welcome! 🥰🤩
I was a Mod in Glasgow Scotland at this time and then I turned on to Kashmir Hashish from a Beatnik that I knew and then I left for London the following year and later found LSD..
I was 21 in 1969 living in London stoned every day... Wish I could remember some of those times...
No regrets but i do wish I had paid more attention...
Now am 76, a mature male, and wondering how, or even why, I lived this long as it certainly wasn't part of the non plan of my life... One Day at A Time.
Amazing story
'65 was amazing. No other scene has ever or will happen again. I was lucky to have been alive then. I miss this era greatly. The stuff today is overproduced with throwaway lyrics with no freedom for young exciting artists to gain any kind of excited fanbase. No Beatlemania. No Dylan at his best. No "fun" music anymore. If I am ever reincarnated...'65, '66, and '67 would be a great place to wake up in. The most original and creative music came out of the mid-'60s era and those who missed it, go back and listen to this stuff. You WILL love it.
Such a great time for music and fashion
Kinda surprised The Seekers didn't get a mention on this vid. 1965 was a particularly busy year for the band, especially in the UK.
Petula Clark was my favorite British Invasion singer along with Simon & Garfunkel
Me too
Simon and Garfunkel were American. They were London based at the time of their breakthrough.
I was born in 1949. I grew up with my dad playing big band music. Listening to the music of the time was an emotional experience. It wasn't a bunch of band churning out garbage sounds, they were very talented musicians with training in classical music, blues, etc. That reflected in music the Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and even the Moody Blues. I miss those days. It's no wonder I collect music from that era to play today. Everyone loves the 60s music.
Indeed they do!
I was born in1952 with a brother and He bought singles 45's mainly, the stones, Beatles kinks, the who, all that unforgettable music, I remember his mate baz johnson had a good job which allowed him to afford to buy three singles every week at 6 shillings 8 pence each which added up to 1 english pound, yes a quid, I feel fortunate those days (think) were infinitely better, but now?......nuff said, don't wanna be branded a bitter and twisted old git... thankyou.
I was only 9 in May 1965. I lived near NYC and all us kids listened to WABC. A lot of these songs are very familiar
Cool
I liked Murray the K on 1010 WINS. And adored Cousin Brucie on 77 WABC. And yes, really liked the WMCA Good Guys. The NYC area had three super rock 'n roll stations! ❤️❤️
@@Skylark0fNYC I lived in Indiana back then, but we could pick up WABC quite clearly. Cousin Brucie was great.

They say if you can remember the ‘60’s you weren’t there! I was there, I think! A great walk down memory lane, thank you.
You’re welcome!
This video brings back the feeling I had growing up in the 60's
I was 17 at that time,driving to HS in my new ‘64 GTO,cruising the drive-ins in the evening,and listening to all the newest tunes on WLS radio.What a time to be taking all this in.Even with a Vietnam service interruption ,these were the most enjoyable times of my life.I got to see many of these upstart greats perform at a number of teen-age nightclubs in Michigan later that year after graduation,and the ‘60s scene was like being on a speed high.
Saw Dylan and The Stones in Long Beach, and the Beatles twice at the Hollywood Bowl, wow we thought that it would last forever.
It was a great time to come of age on every level...creative, opportunity, possiblity....
I was 17 in 1965. Those really were the days.
I was 18 in 1965. It was fantastic.
This is very good. Tnx! Graduated from high school in May 65. Loved "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter", had Dylan's "Bringing It All Back Home" & had listened many times to all his albums to that date. Loved the Beatles, of course - they were really into a creative period. Don't think I knew anyting about pot at that time - but by May 66 believe I was really into it. So many concerns about girls & college. Actually it was the beginning of the worst period of my life, which began to turn around only in Aug 69 when a friend & I moved from Phoenix to Manhattan. BEGAN to turn around. It took until Dec 75 for it to actually turn around. What a time.
great video. I arrived in '65, my mum and dad were cool. I remember lost of music, record players and cool cars, I can't say another era would have been better, or worse. but I'm glad I was there, ' in the 60's man !'
✌️cheers
For better or worse , Bob Dylan made a video for Subterranean Homesick Blues that set the standard for future videos & MTV 📺.
Visionary
Cab Calloway was first with Minnie the Moocher. Little Richard invented Rock n Roll.
The best time to have been a teen, everything was new and exciting, not like today's humdrum society.
The best days of my life were in the mid-sixties. I fell in love with the music and with a girl all at the same time. A wonderful time to be alive.
That’s awesome 😎
Forget the music. If I were alive in May '65 I would have been more concerned as to wherher or not my draft card would show up in the mail and being shipped to Vietnam.
Ha! I graduated HS, May 1965. The day after I left for the Army at 0700. I enlisted in March of 65. Never waited for my draft notice. The majority of my classmates enlisted. We were raised by WW2 veterans. We were and are proud.
And yes, I served in Vietnam with the Army Airborne. And am very proud of those heroes I served with. And will never ever forget their friendships and sacrifices.
@@gulliver3644 Bless you and thank you for your service to this country. My prior post was meant to put into perspective the issues of that particular time (including race riots, segregation) as opposed to the "sunny" narrative in this video. I'd never intend any disrespect toward those who served nor any first responder as well.
And you would have had plenty of company.
The great music was a welcome diversion.
Shakin' All Over, Winnipeg represent.
Love that song!
@@freewheelingideas The original of Shakin' All Over in 1960 by Johnny Kidd and the Pirates featuring Joe Moretti on lead guitar, is unbeatable. One of the best singles ever In my opinion. I still have the 45 somewhere.
@@rocketpost1 agree! Love that version too!!
@@freewheelingideas Love the original as well! Fun fact: When Johnny Kidd passed in the car accident, a young Nick Simper was also in the car with him, but was only injured. He went on to be a co-founding member of Deep Purple as a bass player.
❤ Here Comes the Night❤ Haven’t heard it in years 😊
It’s a great song, love Van Morrison
Awestruck by Bob Dylan. I guess you had to be there.
The man's a genius and a true American original. My GF adored Bob, and Donovan, too. Their music and poetry set the tone for a generation. Young people should give both a listen.
Awesome Video - thanks for making it. I can still remember 1965 - my late father had an awesome Leak / Goodmans Hi-Fi with which we listened to the Top 40 Pop Songs each week. Yes it did seem like the most special of times if you were part of the Young Generation. Our parents could sense their more rigid world was slipping away from them.

What a time to be young.The excitement of hearing these new sounds.
Now "the music scene" is filled with the mediocre talent and out of control popularity with an overage teenage girl fan base of a certain pop diva all of whose songs sound alike and whose string of "Exes I Hate And Wish Would Die" is approaching legendary status.
So true.
Im glad you stated that. Music today is created for short attention spans.
Boomer here. Your post sounds like a typical “get off my lawn” old man. Don’t you remember when the olds decried the “lack of melody”, “no talent’ and, “immorality “ of the music of the 60s and 70s 😆
Sounds like a jealous MAGAt whose “music scene” includes such Z listers like ted PEDO nugent, and kid Drunk rock. I’m sure the local bars are filled when they perform at them as opposed to the MILLIONS who have seen Taylor Swift all over the WORLD!
So? Why are you whining? Just do not listen. . .
I was 11. I can't really grasp how long it was from May 1965 to October 1966. That was another life!
The 60s. So innocent and influential we were. I was 11 in 66 and I can say there will never be a better decade for many things but music was something that is so entrenched in my mind from the era with automobiles a close second, they both peaked in quality and desirability. I never tried to make a fashion statement, I just kept it simple and cool with the hot days in south Arkansas with sleeveless shirts and cotten trousers but the threads that some wore in those days were, 7:07 how ya say “OUTTA SIGHT MAN”!😂😂😂
thx. I enjoyed this.
Glad you enjoyed it ✌️
We love it. Keep them coming.
Thank you and definitely will 🙏
All those british bands made it here in America because the US recording companies picked them up and put them on contract.
They missed a lot of British Bands in America too.
The iconic music scene of 1965 was our "normal" back then.
I grew up during the good times, late 50's to early 70's. How lucky I was. Freedom had some real meaning, entertainers focused on entertainment, news media presented news, governments governed instead of manipulated, schools were friendly places, criminals were where they were supposed to be, in jail, I had a family who cared.
I was just turning 6 in May of 65 , living in a small town outside of Niagara Falls in Canada things were slow .I had an older sister,she was just turning into a teenager , she was not coolest but she was not a square either .I do however recall how exciting things were .
One of the best music videos I've ever seen on here , so informative , such brilliant music Nick 70 England
Thank you so much Nick! Greatly appreciate your support 🙏
I was 4 in 1965, and even then I was all in for the Beatles, and no Saturday was complete without American Bandstand. Popular music today has - for better or worse - become so splintered that it is impossible to have a "scene," except in the most niche sense.
It's still amazes me the huge difference of 1965 to 1966. I definitely prefer the former to the latter.
Great! Thank you from Amsterdam.
You’re welcome 🙏
I was on the verge of graduating high school in 5/65. Pop music was taking a damn good foothold in America in those days. Style was getting more radical, dress and hair. I guess it all started in England and got to the US in a heartbeat, thank gawd.
By September I was headed off to basic training to participate in the Vietnam War. I had a hard a tough time keeping up with the pop trends, but did my level best, except for hair and mod clothes. Nobody tried to take what was in my head.

Rock-n-Roll was illegal in UK at that time... they had official BBC radio/TV... Brit kids had to listen to illegal radio stations on ships out past the 12 mile limit!
@@buzzwaldron6195 OMG! I never knew that! 😓😥😢 I grew up in NYC. This truly surprises me! 💙💟💙
I was just a little bit too young for this date, but it lasted for another 10 years, so I caught up with it eventually.
School’s out by Alice Cooper seemed to be my breakthrough moment, just as I qualified for the school’s first XV.
The world was a great place back then.
I was in junior high in 1965.
Brian Jones was still alive ❤
I was 10 in 1965 in the US, we had rocknroll on all the time, mom luved it! she took me to 11 rock concerts from1965-67, best decade ever for us kids!
I was 22 in 65. Been there, done that.

I was 13 and loved the music, great time to be young
14:05 The song Carrie Ann by the Hollies was about Marianne Faithfull, they were all in love with her but they didn't want to use her real name. It was in the Hollies documentary.
Dang KEEFE, talk about your 'high waters', lol ! Actually after seeing your 'Big Hits' (Hide Tide / Green Grass)" album cover, I looked for those shoes for years ! Finally got a pair of capezios during the disco era.
All accurate
About 1982,, I found the 1965 Sonny and Cher album and the Petula Clark album. It was. definitely a good music year. They were pretty scratched but I got a lot of play from them.
Wow. This guy's really stuck in May. 1965.
Lol there’s other months shown appreciation as well!
well done
Thank you 🙏
The mid 60s was an explosion of creativity. Looking at the music charts for any week so many soon to be classic songs shared the list in such a variety of styles. The tunes easily recognizable without words. Could anyone say the same of recent music.
It was my senior year in high school and was debating about what to do the following fall. As it happened the USAF looked very appealing and it was an experience that I will never forget. Good music, good friends and innocence on my part. The right place at the right time. It really doesn't seem like that long ao - but it was. 'nuf said.....
The movie, American Graffiti, yes. Culture in general, back then was far more distinctive. Today, its all formulaic in an effort to be successful rather than just BE.
If inflation was measured correctly, you'd probably find that most people, and definitely the lower half of the wage earning pyramid, made more money back in 1965 than they do today.
Probably so
... because OBrandon wasn't in the White House in '65!
- Yeah,From The SPlendid 60s.Era,To The Hell RealiTy Today...~🤔🌌🎸
When asked what was the best era in music one recording artist replied "Right now". When asked why he replied that all the great music from all the past eras is available right now. The people in 1965 had no access to the beautiful music available since then. I should add that most people talking about the good music of the past are talking about the best music available back then. Just like today the majority of the music made back then was garbage. This is true of every art form from every era.
I remember eating my 15 cent McDonald's hamburger, then pulling out onto the highway,
turning on WBZ in Boston, and hearing that squeeky voice singing "for the times, they are a changin.'"
Went out and bought it the next day!
Just 14, in a new neighborhood and new friends, girls were gorgeous in school and my neighborhood, so all new friends, such goid times my mom was back from surgery after being away for two years in Calif. Hospitals, dad has his new buisness so it was primarily me and baby brother ( remember that song) it was like a whole new experience as was the music, cars, clothes, and friends, kinda like the launching of the first man in space and the assasination of a loved president, a whirlwind of change and new experiences. A very unique time to grow up
Who could have thunk it.
Soon to see the American scene explode on uk scene. Sonny and Cher and byrds.
It was a graduation month for me from high school…..St Bonaventure, Sturtevant Wisconsin. WLS radio was playing various songs. Dick Biondi was the coolest DJ in Chicago. I got a car on graduation (nothing special, 1960 Corvair) and hit a parked car in the afternoon. The party was great, memories…….
Those are some great memories!
Was in college in the mid 60’s. All was good except Vietnam. Got to participate in t(at event, too. Remember coffee houses, bongos, poetry and good coffee.
