America's Teenage Population is Shrinking

RE · Mar 09, 2024, 08:58 AM

I am getting teary eyed and nostalgic for the teenage hippies flooding the streets of Haight-Asbury in San Fransisco in the Summer of Love in 1967 and clogging the NYS Thruway with VW Buses with hand painted Peace signs on the way to the Love-In at Woodstock in the Summer of '69. I just missed being a teenager in the 60's, I was 12 in the Summer of 69. But I was more grown up than the typical 12 year old, particularly in my radical left wing politics and my even stronger belief in the principles of Free Love. ;D No girl in a mini skirt above the 3rd Grade with nice legs and a pretty face escaped getting a badly written love poem handed to her at recess. Fortunately the quality of the writing wasn't important, just having the guts to write invitations to play doctor with me worked like magic. Sex & Drugs & Rock n' Roll! I wasn't just a precocious math prodigy. lol. As Bryan Adams sang, those were the best days of my life. 8)
