Growing Up In Boston In The 1950s

To support my efforts to create more clips please donate to me at www.patreon.com/allinaday. Jack Beatty is a journalist and currently cohost of NPR's On Point. I did this interview with him 22 years ago as part of my 6 part PBS television series, Making Sense Of The Sixties. I loved his blue-collar memories of that time and post it here for my colleagues to enjoy. You can see many portions of my series in other clips on my UA-cam channel.

His face and the sound of his voice reminds me the comedian Bill Burr.

Is it true that Beatty has neither a college degree nor a high school diploma?

[@NG-cf7zh]

No, not true, he has several degrees.

yeah, the Pre Vatican 2 culture was way better.

I agree with this man. Come on, everybody knows life in the Fifties was the last best time in America culture! The movies were great and the restaurants were great and the churches were honorable and there were less perverts and less Liberals and less corrupt Hollywood culture. The free speech was very alive back then.f And the culture did not condemn the Family Unit.

catsintexas in case if you didn't know, both parties don't care about family unit or any traditional values, they are each one side of the same coin.
