I remember when an album & a concert ticket were about the same price--as others have mentioned similar things.

You had to use an opener for a beer or soda can. Same for a bottle top.

the air was clean and sex was dirty

a fuzz and wah were all the pedals you needed

there was no disco

there actually were bands and not dj's at weddings and parties

no mtv- songs made your imagination work. now you think of the video, which may have been the idea for the song, not the other way around

neighbores watched out for each other

If a neighbor saw you doing something wrong they handled it, Then when you parents found out about it you got it again.

If you got in trouble at school your parents took the school's side and punished you too. They didn't sue them for you messing up.

the vacuum store is a lot like the guitar store. but they do not attract the same clientele as the guitar store, cause if they did, the vacuum store would be loaded with a bunch of broke guys who just wanted to run the new vacuums.

my parents still do that....

You went into an A&P grocery store, and smelled the ground coffee beans throughout the entire store.

You played outside and never sat on the couch watching TV

There was only one phone in the house.

Families had only 1 car... and everyone still got to do the things they wanted.

The luncheonettes in the Woolworth's 5 & 10 cent stores.

remember when you told someone that you like jazz, and they didn"t say "i love kenny g"

as sure as cheerleading is not a sport, kenny g is not jazz

They still used some rare old style pay phones with the ear piece on a cord, and the mouth piece mounted on the phone base. About 1956-1957.

Exposition Gardens Opera house. Shows for a couple of bucks, a national and a local act. A fight in the hall, or parking lot, meant a couple of shiners and some skinned knuckles.

PAs were Kustom 400s and vocal masters. Nobody miked anything but the vocals and if you got to play with monitors, you knew you'd hit the big time.

girdles, If your girl got frisky on a date and she was wearing one of them you definitely had your work cut out for you

you can save the world with your guitar one love song at a time it's just better, more fun, easier with a fender solid body electric guitar or electric bass guitar.
