Life in the 60's

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. We did the Twist while man first walked on the moon and the movie Psycho changed our bathing habits. We played with GI Joe, Play-Doh and Super-Ball and ate Wonder Bread, Chef Boy-ar-dee pizza, and Burger King Whoppers. We were introduced to Lenny Bruce and horrified by the assassinations of President Kennedy in 1963, Malcolm X in 1965, Martin Luther King in 1968, and Bobby Kennedy two months later. Beatlemania swept the nation and we cheered as Muhammed Ali won the heavyweight title in 1964. Hippies promoted Peace & Love with Flower Power sockin' in to us at Woodstock in 1969.
