Have We Come a Long Way From the 1960s? You Bet Your Bippy We Have!
The farther along I get in my dotage, the more I yearn for the simpler pleasures of my youth, now so very long ago.
Regular readers know that I don’t watch television these days, and I pretty much think most of what passes for “entertainment” today is little more than garbage. At moments like these, however, the Internet comes through, with YouTube providing many hours of entertainment from my own personal days of yore.
