Controversial 60's

It was the early 60’s where rock and roll was Taking over the land, and ELVIS was on tour with his band. Where rock and roll was stories being told And the teen life was starting to unfold. We had race riots in the southern states And black rights were up for debate. An era of KENNEDY and KING where peaceful Solutions they would try to bring. Both assassinated at a young age Because they tried to bring some change. An Era where gas was cheap and wages low And it cost fifty cents to see a show. A time of the CUBAN missile crisis and VIETNAM And protesters were taking a stand. Then this country was taken by storm And draft dodging became the norm. Although some of the 60’s was a living hell It gave me fond memories as well. Drive in theatres – not many to be found But one or two are still around. We’d be able to back in to the drive in theatre With a little luck- in our 53 pickup truck. The speakers attached to the window of the door The volume turned down very low And the windows were rolled up so no one would know Or- we would lie in the back of the truck With a blanket or two Depending on what we wanted to do. This was the 60’s that I recall where most Everyone had a ball.
