I Like Fun Stuff, And Fun Things, And Fun Thoughts

I think more people should read my posts. I remember sock-hops from the fifties, it was really like that!
Also the movie "Hairspray" was a spoof-like fond memory. The idea is the kids were really very sweet and ordinary and LUCKY! And SO MUCH FUN. I wish I could get the Boomarang Diner chain to do these on weekends...
and this...I actually remember Arlene...my older sister (class of 63) Bonnie did too ;=)

@Chevy454 It was strange and guarded and yet we knew we were trying to have some fun and we made the most of it. And it got better for a while before it got killed off.

@Stilltryinghard I was too young in the 50s to be able to give a first-hand account lol:-)
