man 1966 I wonder what it was like growing up in that time ...damm

Chula Vista

No cell phones, home computers, ATMs, seatbelts, airbags, only 3 channels of TV, a couple more if your antenna could pick up the 2 on UHF. No internet. Only 45s and LPs. No FM radio. No boomboxes. Cigarettes were less than 50 cents a pack. The Beatles dominated the radio along with motown and other American and British bubblegum pop. The golden oldies station was stuff from the 40s and 50s and your parents would sing along. Phone numbers were only 5 digits and it was a rotary dial. You wanted money you got to the bank between 9 and 5, monday thru saturday and waited in line. Everything retail was cash only. EVERYONE dressed up and went to church on Sunday. Drive in theaters. Drive in restaurants everywhere. Roller skates and trays hung off the side of your car. No porn, except for that one friend in the neighborhood who jacked one of his dad's magazines and would charge you for a 3" x 5" picture ripped from it.

The entire world was about to turn upside down and inside out in the next 5 years.

Did your goat write Masters of War?

I thought it was ten even back then, you only needed seven digits for local calls. The area code was needed for long distance calls. The middle part was the exchange which was the next three numbers it started with two letters of a name used for the exchange or central office. Like in old movies they would say "Operator, get me Chula Vista 1 - 2345." which really is CH1-2345 or 241-2345.

Nah, local calls were 5. Sometime during the early 70s you had to add an additional 2 numbers. People freaked. Oh the humanity!

Surf's Up is better. Fight me.

Dylan's a babe you can all piss off. And he'd be a great Black Metal vocalist.

I agree - and so is Sunflower, and so is SMiLE. I still love pet Sounds though.

SMiLE is currently my favourite album ever. Also, Friends is ****ing brilliant.
