  During the the early years of 1950s television depicted people living in car centric suburbs in spite of the fact that much of the middle class still lived in urban centers. Two exceptions to this and two of the most popular shows, were I Love Lucy and the Honeymooners, two of the most popular shows in reruns.😊

  What do I believe? History repeats itself. From 5,000 years ago we are aware that cultures come and go, evolve, all representing different and diverse qualities of life. Some cultures represent law and order, its citizenry functioning with freedoms and prosperity. But these cultures always decay with time with the population becoming complacent resulting in vulnerability to wars / and to the consequences of natural catastrophe. The quality of popular music is an indicator of the quality of life.  Right now, western cultural is in a deep dive state of decay.

  The era that has gone completely. It was the last age of innocence. There was no PC movement, no cell phones, no Internet, and love alone determined marriages.
