Do you ever get a feeling you were born at the wrong time?

I too was born in the 50's and remember the 60's, where the neighbors, kept an eye on all the kids, and if you got out of line, they give you a licking and you would get another when your parents came home. Where the LOOK told you what to expect, if you didn't stop what you were doing. I tried that LOOK on my grandkids, they thought I was making a funny face they know better now No girl dare to go out with a boy, without the parent meeting him, and where, when to bring her home. I remember my mom pulling up to the service station and buying 50 cents worth of gas and a coke was a nickel. Kids played and ran, and our parents knew where we were at all times, and before dusk you better be in the house. Listening to a radio station located in Tenn, with a DJ called Erie, one television and everyone had to look at the same thing.

In the 70's I married, brought a 3 bed room, 1 1/2 bath for $15,000 and could buy a week of groceries for $20.00. Music was good as in the 60's & 70's, it had meaning. I loved (not in order of the year) The Beatles, Petula Clark, Earth, Wind and Fire, Otis Redding, James Brown, Al Green. Chubby Checkers kept us Twisting the Night Away. TTNA even got my Mom moving, adults didn't dance to teenage music much . The birth of the Civil Rights Movement, brought hope and some victories.

I love where I am, just wish the great things we have now, was priced like back then.

No.

But I do get the odd feeling that I'm locked up in a loony bin somewhere and you're all just figments of my imagination....

I feel you RGB...I've often thought that when I'm watching a movie or listening to music from the big band era and 40's and 50's jazz. The musicians then were so into their music, they lived and breathed it. I would loved to have been able to follow Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Lionel Hampton, Stan Getz, Charlie Parker, Thelonius Monk and many others during that time as a groupie. Doris Day was my absolute favorite actress. I love finding movies and her peformances from that era. However, music is the only reason I would want to live during that time. Considering all the other things they endured I would not want to have to live through that.

I was born in the late 60's. I am just really happy that I had my childhood at a time when you go out of your house and you can have playmates on the streets and have fun games using tin cans and rocks, climb trees, run around in hide and seek, and all the uncomplicated stuff. So no, I've never really felt I was born at the wrong time.

Perhaps when I was a kid, I wished I was in a place like in fairy tales. But then that was kid stuff.

I love the music of the 80's.

Blessings...South

Completely agree with you, South - though I was born in 1970.
