    At 4:30 they showed an Esso gas station with .35/gal gas prices, um no, not in the 50s. I was only paying .39/gal for 104 octane leaded gas for my 69 Z28 in 1973. They were having "gas wars" in the 50s, i remember my dad paying .17/gal for regular....other than that, thanks for making me feel like an old fuck

    Lol, all the hyperbole in that song regarding segregation and every large city in the US has multiple murders, black on black, every week, hell, every day. Isn't the future wonderful?

    I remember growing up in the '50's and dad giving me 25 cents to go to the movies. 10 cents admission, 10 cents for a bag of popcorn, and 5 cents for a fountain Coke. Those were the days.....

    I was paying 32 cents in 1966 and I bought 200 gallons during a gas war for 17 cents. It was 1972 when the prices started going up, and in my area they are holding at about $2.50 And I am an old fuck!

    Very touching.I was born in '62 and things in my world were very much like this.In my entire neighborhood, no one's house was ever broken into. Nobody ever had a bike stolen. Things sure have changed.
