You were in Grade School, when Ike and Mamie were in the White House.

When I was a Cub Scout back in the 1950s one of my tasks was to learn to identify cars by make and model. I sort of became obsessed. My dad was a car guy and he helped me learn the subtle differences between makes, models, and years. Every September or October, the new model years would be unveiled by the car companies.

What was this guy's name in the show, and name the TV show he was in.
Try to do it without looking. |

Prior to leaving the States we'd lived in Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana and knew basically nothing about LA and SoCal car culture. We thought the program was pretty cool.

Keeping in the theme of the thread, I lived in Southern California during the 60s. I got my drivers license in at 16 in 1965. The first thing I did was figure out how to get from the South Bay where I lived to Sunset Blvd. I was in a band at the time and I was always wanting to watch bands perform to learn what I could. So, you know you're old when you saw the Doors at Whisky a go go, Buffalo Springfield, Stevie Wonder when he was still called Little Stevie Wonder and so many more. What a great time. I went as often as I had gas money to get there and back. |

I was at the Whiskey too; saw Van Halen there in the 70s and Mötley Crüe in the 80s. Did you know Buffalo Springfield's song "For What it's Worth" was about the Sunset Strip curfew riots? Of course the riots were a little before my time but I used to hang out there, and Hollywood blvd. as a teenager. Wild and exciting times for sure. Last edited by Esteban; 04-01-2024 at 07:55 PM.. |

We talked about this before but I don't remember what thread it was in. No, I don't remember the Lloyd Thaxton Show but I do remember the Hullabaloo TV show. You know you're getting old when you find you're repeating yourself here on the forum.

The Hullabaloo Club was started by Dave Hull, a DJ at the time. He did the TV show too. The Hullaboloo was a huge place for bands to play and kids to dance and watch. It was giant compared to Whisky a Go Go, Pandora's Box and the other Sunset Strip clubs farther West. It's other distinction was that it had a revolving stage so one band could be performing while another band was setting being the curtain. When one band was done, the curtain would open and the stage would rotate 180 degrees and the next band was performing it's first song without a break. Nonstop music. It was so much fun. Bands who performed there: The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, The Turtles, Palace Guard (house band and they were outstanding), Them (with Van Morrison), Dick Dale, The Yardbirds, The Association, and many more.

I miss waterbeds. A good waterbed mattress was heaven. A poor one was a disaster waiting to happen.
My waterbed story: Ex-wife and I had a waterbed at one time. One night I woke up to find the sheets and area around my crotch was soaking wet. I was horrified thinking I'd somehow had an "accident." How embarrassing. I got up and checked under the sheets and didn't see a leak. Just wetness. Still confused. Then I pressed down on the mattress and a little fountain appeared. Apparently one of our cats had managed to poke a tiny hole in the mattress with his claw. The hole was so small it sort of self-sealed until there was some pressure around it. I was soooo relieved, I was pumping my fist in the air and yelling, "Yes! Yes!" The ex woke up and thought I had lost my mind for being so psyched about a hole in the mattress.
