At the beach (in my case, Jones Beach on Long Island) with your parents, aunts uncles and cousins, having cold fried chicken, home made macaroni and potato salad your mother and aunts made for lunch and packed in Scotch Coolers (remember them?) and being told after eating, "Wait a half hour before going back into the water or you'll get cramps and drown!"
What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about?
My neighbor rang my doorbell at 2:30 a.m. this morning, can you believe that, 2:30 a.m.!? Lucky for him I was still up playing my drums. |

People smoked on airplanes.
Michael mentioning smoking doctors reminded me of that. Actually, people used to smoke everywhere.

Dave Garroway on the Today Show. The only reason I remember him is because on leaving a lost baby tooth under my pillow one night I woke up at 7 a.m in the morning to find a dime under the pillow. I went downstairs and turned on the TV that my grandfather had built from a Heath kit and found this guy Dave Garroway and some monkey called J. Fred Muggs. Only because of the chimp do I remember Dave Garroway. I must have gone back to bed because I don't remember my parents in the event. But at my age I'm lucky to remember what happened yesterday.
Jack Paar and Hose Meles on the Tonight Show and the blacked out Paar WC joke. Steve Allen who was just plain nuts and funny. Shmok! Shmok! (probably only New Yorkers will remember that) Soupy Sales telling all the little kiddies to raid their daddy's wallets and send him all the dollar bills they could find. Don Knotts and Louis Nye as the Man on the Street on the Steve Allen show. Ernie Kovacs and the Nairobi Trio. Jayne Mansfield. Red Skelton as Clem Kaddidlehopper.

Do you remember that most fine Department Stores has a seated "elevator operator" who would take you to your preferred floor, manually operating the elevator car and doors to open?
The cool part was you could clearly see the various floors and elevator innards whooshing by as you travelled up or down. As a kid...to me that was pure magic.

Missed my opportunity for edit for Jose Meles above, and was also going to add Emile Griffith and his knockout punch to opponent Benny Paret from which Paret died ten days later. Big story then, especially because at the weigh-in Paret patted Griffith on his butt and called him something akin to being gay.
Yeah, those elevators weren't only in fine department stores but hotels and other places as well. Some of them still exist today. In fact when I was in corporate and working the NYC scene till 9-11, many a union elevator operator sitting on one of them stools held hostage anyone needing to make a delivery after hours and who's palms we'd have to grease to get furniture and other goods delivered to high rises in various buildings in the city.

Arnold Palmer was king
When you could legally drink at 18 in the US. When superstars made a 100 grand. When Motown was in Motown. When the Tigers won the last pure World Series.

Remember when people abandoned cars by roadsides and in rivers?

Remember when on any trip of 10 or 20 miles, you were bound to pass cars pulled over to the side of the road with flat tires or overheated engines?

Seat belts weren't used as much and as a kid on trips we would sleep on the dash above the back seat and under the rear window, just waiting to become a human projectile.
