This song is dedicated to the baby boomer men. Don't you wish we could go back to those days again?

I really feel sorry for all of the newer generations that have no idea how much better life was in America during the 60's, and 70's. Those really were the good old days!

Thank you, Sage. :D

You're right, younger generations have no idea how easy things were in the 60s and 70s.

People weren't up tight. Cops weren't ass holes. There were great parks and recreation and public services. There were stores and shops for goods and services. You dealt with humans, not machines.
Beaches, state and federal parks were open to the public. Family entertainment was inexpensive.
Police departments and courts didn't have digital records. Driving records and medical records weren't shared with insurance companies.

It was a great time to be alive.

The song mentions drive-in movies which brought back some good ole memories for me.
My Mom had a '63 Chevy Impala and it had a huge trunk. Ok, you already know what I am going to say next huh?
Yes I did sneak my friends into the drive-in movies. I mean, I could fit 5 of them in that huge trunk. 🙂 Plus I was the only one with a car. 🚗
And the police were respected. If a cop pulled you over, you had better pull your butt over and fast! There was no taking off and starting a high speed chase! No sirree! We didn't ever put the words high, speed, chase into one sentence.🙂✌️

Ahhh, drive-in movies. Big cars with bench seats. Drive-in diners. Car culture. Freedom. It sure brings back memories.

Yes, the 60s were a special time. I wish I could have been there but I had an older cousin that was there during the Vietnam era and I thought he was really cool. I was a little obsessed with the 50s and 60s growing up. I listened to old rock n roll and anti war protest songs. I was into old comic books and TV shows like MASH and Bonanza.

I remember this from freshman year in college. My roommate had this album and he used to ply it ll the time.

I was only two years away from being a baby boomer so I still remember how those days were as a kid

Well, howdy 🤠 stranger!👋🤗 I haven't bumped into you in a very long time. Where have you been hiding?
Nice to hear from you again. Please don't be a stranger, I've missed you!!

I’ve been around but ever since gag took away the feature where I could see everyone I follow if they posted any questions so now I really don’t know who is on

[sage2021]

@Likes2drive
I know! I hate that they did that! Now we don't know who all is following us or who all we are following! That really sucks big time!
That was the only way I could get in contact with someone was by tapping on their username of my followers and who I am following.
Why did they do that? Any idea?
I posted a question about this and the moderators removed it saying that I duplicated the question.
WOW! That is so NOT true 😔

[Likes2drive]

Not sure why they took it away, they are always messing with something on here but one thing is for sure they always take away the good things on here

[sage2021]

@Likes2drive
Maybe we should protest 🪧
I tried to get an answer to why they did that and I got in trouble 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Likes2drive]

Yeah next time gag asks what they can do better I will bring that up

[mattthefatbat]

Don't really feel like going back to more racist times

[sage2021]

@matthefatbat

These are the racist times!! Everyone called everyone else a racist!! Even if they aren't.
It's really getting old too!

Maybe they should retire the word racist since it has lost its meaning from being over used.

[Lliam]

It was the previous generation that was more racist because they had grown up during segregation and had met few black people.

Boomers were raised during the civil rights era and were kids when segregation ended. Schools became desegregatated. Hippies and liberals were all about peace and love.
Blacks gradually became ubiquitous on TV and there were highly cherished black film actors. Black musicians became widely popular.
Neighborhoods became mixed. Mixed relationships and marriages became common.

Racial relations got better and better over the following decades. Blacks were normalized in society.

Obama got elected by a popular majority. Unfortunately, during his administration, the Democratic party began playing the race card as a way of separating themselves from Republicans. That was dishonest because I didn't know any conservatives or Republicans who were any more racist than Democrats.

But the Democrat's strategy to brand whites as racist served to create the notion that racism was still rampant. They promoted ideas like "white privilege" and "don't act so white". They were supposed to feel guilt over slavery even though whites had banned slavery over a hundred years earlier and ended segregation decades earlier.

Modern Democrats promote the idea that blacks are victims. They even talk about reparations. But it's all done purely for political gain. And it's tearing this country apart.

Kids now days are fed the idea that racism is still rampant in the U. S., but they don't have the perspective to understand how much things had changed since the 1960s. Racism had actually nearly been erased.

I never liked much of their stuff after, "VI".
