I remember this one from 1965.

Connie Smith ~ Once A Day

Course it helps that I also remember her singing me "Mama's Gonna Buy You a Mockingbird" six years earlier when she was my babysitter.

Well, that would tend to afix a memory, I guess. It's never been my kinda music, though.

T-Rex was a favourite of my daughter, back in the day.
I loathed it.
I preferred the Eagles, Poco, Beatles, Hollies, and loads of others.

The good thing about the '70s: quite a few people can remember them. The '60s ... not so much. What was that strange smell in the air?

I remember most of it. I was in military service and in the middle of the EU.
Strange smells were something read about in a newspaper.
But the music was generally great. Listen to it.

The Fugs. Wishing I had been a bit older to partake of the scene, in many more ways than one...

Oh I guarantee you had she not been a hometown girl that made it big, I wouldn't be able to tell you she ever existed. Not my type of music at all either. In the '60's I got turned on early to The Beatles (of course) and then explored just about everything from Bobby Goldsboro and The Partridge Family to Grand Funk Railroad and Led Zep.

I've often felt I was born about six or seven years too late as I'm sure I would have made an excellent hippie. Coming of age in the first half of the 1970's only resulted in a wildly diverse and eclectic taste in music and a lot of confusion over whether I wanted to be Alex Keaton from "Family Ties" or a member of the Village People. Speaking of which...

The song that got me to sign enlistment papers

You would not believe the comments made about that record and its performers.
Not kind, I assure you.

Oh I would believe them. The 1970's was a much different time with attitudes.

What I really found amazing back then, was the amount of people that would ask: "Do you think the Village People might be a little on the gay side?"

Yeah...maybe just a smidgen.

You sure did know some strange people.

 

[JKendallDane]

You sure did know some strange people.

Nah. Just some rather dense ones.

One asked me that question one night at work, being all concerned The Village People might be gay, but wasn't the least bit worried about being a HUGE Freddie Mercury and Queen fan.

Well, QUEEN were damned good

Norman Watt-Roy.

It's almost forty years old but still one hilariously funny movie!

"Norman, Is That You?"

With a cast that includes Redd Foxx, Pearl Bailey, and Waylon & Madam how could it be anything else?

If we're going to talk legs, let's talk serious L~E~G~S !

I actual have a near mint copy of this magazine...summer of 1953 when they were introducing some new pin up babe by the name of Marilyn Monroe. Now those are LEGS!

Until the mid 1960's or so, Amanda Blake as Miss Kitty on Gunsmoke was about as risque as I remember legs on TV.

Might also explain why most guys above the age of sixty have an ankle fetish?
