JFK RFK MLK assasinations, Manson murders, Vietnam war, Woodstock, Chappaquiddick, Cuban missile crisis, Civil Rights, etc etc etc. I turned 13 in 1960 and finished the decade as a 22 year old US Army sergeant. It was a helluva ride.

My brother had GI Joe action figures. My mom had the Beatles albums. We danced to them. I guess I am getting younger. I had the mini skirt and bell bottoms pants. Our uniforms in private school also were shorter. History repeats itself. Bell bottoms are back. Also we were the first family in my building to have color T.V in 1967 my playmates would come to our house to watch cartoons on Saturday mornings. Thanks again for the memories.

My family had the 1960s station wagon, always a Chrysler as my grandfather had a large Chrysler auto + marine dealership. But, I had the use of a 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner with Hurst shift in '83/'84 as my everyday car. What a car! I so loved it. I'd have one again except that it was about 2 miles per gallon of leaded fuel! Also, you cannot insure a car of the '70s for daily driving in California today.

The civilians at my Navy workshop used to kid a sailor, who worked at a field station across the island, to be sure he gassed up his Plymouth Roadrunner before undertaking the less than 10 mile drive between the two locations. I used popsicle sticks to fashion a prosthetic arm for my brother's G.I. Joe.

Some of these things will only be remembered by Americans and I'm English. I did wear mini skirts when I was at University, and I saw the Beatles live in my local theatre in 1964. I remember the moon landing and the assassination of President Kennedy. I also remember the 1966 World Cup when as a family we watched every televised match religiously in spite of having no interest in football before or since.

Although not a muscle car the Corvette could be bought with a race engine that was rated at 430 hp but was actually more like 630 hp I remember being a remote control for the TV as I was the youngest. Watching whatever was on TV because that was all there was. (like I had a choice) Most of the shows just plain sucked in the 60s. News shows that reported the News of all things. They did not have opinion councils to explain the news to people too stupid to understand it. I barely remember scenes from Vietnam. *LANDING ON THE MOON!* the moon program was covered in school. Being with family at the dinner table and watching TV. If the phone in the kitchen rang it didn't isolate people into the twilight zone as it does today. Reading books. Listening to the radio...AM of course as FM was that weird stuff.

To be honest, if you want to talk about the NY Yankees, you'd be better off putting them in a video about the 1950s. In the 60s, they appeared in five World Series and won two: in the 50s, they were in seven and won five (I'd have to check the exact numbers, but I think the point's been made)

Well, in regards to the event referenced at about 3:40, protesting the criminalization of subtance use... I think the verdict is in on that one. San Francisco finally decriminalized it (so have whole states, like Oregon), and the results are nothing short of disastrous: with homeless encampments, piles of feces and used needles littering the streets. George Harrison saw the handwriting on the wall back during the sixties, during a visit to San Francisco when he saw drug users lying about in the street, in the famous Haight-Ashbury district, and it struck him that they didn't like like "enlightened" people engaging in self-discovery or having spiritual awakenings, they looked exactly like the passed-out winos he'd seen growing up in Liverpool. Addiction isn't pretty. And this inspired him to look at LSD under a microscope, where he saw that it looked like "bits of old rope" and he decided he wasn't putting that stuff in his brain anymore.

Do you know how many times you used the word "iconic" before you were even two minutes into your video presentation?! It's ridiculous. This word is used by just about every single presenter when they are sharing with their viewing audience their various subjects/interests, including, for example, biographical stories, and it has become a very tired cliche. It illustrates how lazy people have become by choosing to not look for fresher, more original ways to present their narratives. Let me offer you a resource: It's called a thesaurus, which is a book of words that are similar, i.e., a book of synonyms, and you should be able to find replacement words for "iconic." I just can't watch your videos having to hear that word constantly used!
