My daddy told me that long time ago. For his generation, there never was a time when things moved ahead just as much as the 50s and 60s. Think of it. Hello electricity and electrical appliances! You made your way even to people living in the country! Paved roads. Pasteurized milk from a creamery. A school bus, a transfer, not a horse and wagon to town for the kids. Good prices for the rice crop. No easy street, but way better than the Depression and the War years, even the crazy Asian ones. Lots of people thought that way in the 50s and 60s. The music reflected this. It's proudly new and nostalgiac at the same time. Not at all in decline as you might have heard, but vibrant, confident. No wonder the renaissance of the 70s and 80s, up to the present!
