Where do you get a CD of the Ranger Andy Show viewed in the 1960s in Hartford Ct?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Unfortunately when the 1080 corporation took over, any old footage, if any that existed was discarded. Ranger Andy was on live, so chances are slim to none of finding a CD. I would have loved to flash back, maybe even viewed myself on that show. All the kids received a Hostess Twinkie after the show. Mom wouldn't let me eat it then, would spoil my dinner. I sat next to a girl in a white dress, she was cute...wonder what ever happened to her.

Were mods and rockers before or after hippies?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

mods and rockers were before the hippies. after they vanished from publicity, the mods turned out to be hippies and the rockers turned out to be skinheads.

This is incorrect, the mods became the Skinheads, Scooter Boys and Suede Heads, whilst the rockers became the back patch clubs, i.e. Hells angels, Outlaws and other 1% s clubs.

The hippie was a way of living and style that evolved in the states. Musically they evolved from the beat nicks and folk music.
