I do agree with you though that half the population (currently) is sedated .

Oh, I probably knew too much!
I remember the Shell Gas Station on the corner of Ridge Road and Wilmette Avenue in Wilmette, IL - it's still there! I have a photo of me on my bike in the parking lot, gas was 28, 30 & 32 cents a gallon on the sign!
Tommy James & the Shondells were all over the radio...

I just meant that anti-war war protests, the peace movement, etc weren't in our face every day in our bubble like communities....even though my metro area growing up was ground zero for a lot of that. Public transit expanded greatly in the Bay Area in the early 70s and kids could take it all over the place. Now.....helicopter parents .. But my most recent experience is in Marin County, and public transportation isn't as extensive there as it is in other parts of the Bay Area. The first three albums I owned were - Abbey Road (The Beatles), Willie and the Poor Boys (Creedence Clearwater Revival)...some friends of the family owned a company that was located down the street from the Duck Kee Market, and their employees were regular patrons of that market), and Symphony No. 9 (Beethoven...performed by the symphony orchestra of some city in Germany). I remember 'Crimson and Clover' and 'Crystal Blue Persuasion', but I don't think I knew (at the time) who the performers were. My dad liked Sinatra, Billy Eckstine, Belafonte, etc. My mother liked Belafonte, a lot of big band music, and a lot of classical, etc. (my parents were old when I was born). My dad's two favorite songs of all time - Sinatra's 'My Way' and America's 'A Horse With No Name'.

You were lucky to grow up in an area that is pretty flat (easy to ride your bike around). My hometown is very hilly (but we did ride our bikes around quite a bit ). I do remember those gas prices as well .
