Decade - 1960s

There was clubs that people would join, not gangs, but like hangout clubs, and they would listen to records and drink lemonade or coffee. And they didn't hang around street corners like gangs and groups do now. There were lots of coffee franchises, bowling alleys, pubs, and stuff like that that they could do. Sometimes they would even sew their own clothes, and maybe make stuff out of duct tape. That didn't really become popular until the '70s, though.

In the 70's John Travolta was a very popular dancer.

In 1973, the United States, North Vietnam, and South Vietnam met in Paris to discuss terms of peace. Henry Kissinger, US National Security Advisor, and North Vietnamese politiboro member Le Duc Tho were the two most prominent negotiators in the peace accords. In 1973, shortly after the Paris Peace Accords, American and foreign troops in Vietnam began pulling out, with the last troops being pulled out under President Ford. A cease-fire was agreed to between the two Vietnamese nations. The Eastertide Offensive in the Vietnam War occurred in the early 1970s, proving to be costly and a failure for North Vietnam. However, communist forces established bases in South Vietnam as their failed offensive left thousands of communist troops on South Vietnamese soil. When fighting resumed in 1975, the North Vietnamese Army overwhelmed the South, causing the unification of Vietnam under communist authority. Overall, the Vietnam War had accomplished nothing as the Americans were not willing to perservere and to stay to defeat the communist North. If the Americans did stay in Vietnam, then maybe they would have won the war although the American public would be outraged to a point of fury. In the early years of the 1970s, Israel was once again at war with its Arab neighbors. The Six Day War of 1967 proved victorious for the Israelis as Eastern Jerusalem was conquered by the Israelis. Israel managed to defeat their enemies while also keeping their cities out of range from Arab artillery. The Israeli Air Force was an important factor of the Six Day War as the IAF virtually destroyed about 3/4 of their enemies' planes on the ground. Now in 1973, Israel fought another war, this time the Arab nations attacking first instead of Israel. The Arab nations attacked on Yom Kippur, the holiest and most sacred day of the Jewish calendar. Similiar to the Tet Offensive in Vietnam in which enemy forces attacked on a sacred day, the Yom Kippur War started when Arab forces crossed the Suez Canal and attacked Israel through the Sinai Peninsula. The Americans supported the Israelis after the Soviet Union began resupplying the Syrian and Egyptian armies. General Ariel Sharon broke through between two Egyptian armies. As a result, he encircled the Thrid Egyptian Army. In the North, the Syrians attacked the Golan Heights, but were repelled by Israeli forces numbering smaller than the Syrian forces. A cease-fire erected by the UN ended the war on October 24.

You could buy a new Camero for just under $3000 in 1967. it matters the company (new or old)

Many reasons. The first being that the 60's were the begining of a cultural revolution. The youth of the 60's were influenced by the bands and the image and music that these bands portrayed. Also, the lyrics and song writting of that era really mirrored what was happening in the world at that time. Lennon/MaCartney, Dylan, etc., seemed to make music that appealed to people and the changing times. People used the music from these bands as a way to break the confines of society.

There were many different jobs on the plantation, there were things for when you were young, like toting water and finding firewood, and as you got older you took care of other children, pulled weeds, and ginned cotton. Once you were over twelve (usually that was how old you had to be) you could work out in the fields picking cotton.

Yes. Dryers too.

There are several major events that happened in Washington, DC over the years. This includes the annual marathons, along with the birthplace of Go-Go music. Sadly, DC was also the area where two snipers randomly killed unsuspecting individuals years ago. In addition to being the nation's capitol, DC also held a number of music, arts, and literature festivals over the years.

Johnny Cash was no stranger to controversy. During the Viet Nam War, through his music he tried to get others to understand that the war was wrong, and also did his best to get the older generation to understand the younger generation.

Johnny Cash has always supported the military of the United States, and his love for God and Country. But, when it came to the problem of the war in the 1960s and into the 1970s, Johnny's view is still what divides this nation today when it comes to the topic of Viet Nam.

Also, his weekly television show, which ran on ABC, from 1969 to 1971 was also a big boost to his career.

Saw a post online from someone that said that in 1968 a magnovox coronado 1p3605 was worth 350$ - not sure the worth today?? Pretty cool to see the original advertisement!

Five teachers and 116 young pupils died at the Pantglas Junior School in Aberfan, Wales on Friday, October 21, 1966. The village and school were inundated by liquified coal slurry from a nearby colliery.

No, but the Ronettes DID tour with the Beatles, the only female group to have this distinction. They were a full-blast itinerant act and also appeared on various TV shows such as Shindig, of the (bandstand) type.

In England a greaser was the term used to describe what was seen at the time, as a rebellious group of youths. This subculture evolved into the Ton-Up boys of the 50's, which again became the Rockers and rival Mods.

In America they were a subculture of mainly ethnic white youths from the northeastern and southern united states. As this group of rebellious youths spread they became known as 'hoods'.

In both countries they got the name greaser from their hairstyles. They grew their hair longer than the normal fashion of the times, and combed it back in a quiff which was creamed, gelled, or waxed into place.

Greased slick-back hair. Long in your face, slit down the middle kinda hair. Ivy league(basically a longer version of a high and tight). But mainly the slick back and maybe a little hair dangeling in the front. -Lucian Brown
