Today’s topic: Standard
My mother once told me a story about how a bad snow storm forced the school to close early. The students were sent to the gym while they waited to be picked up. During the wait some students pulled out a record player and put on the Beach Boys “Wouldn’t It Be Nice”. Alas, once the teachers heard the lyrics they told the students to shut off the music. I had to laugh at the change in standards. To think the Beach Boys were ever considered inappropriate seems odd when I owned Green Day’s Dookie album when I was seven.
But..but..them guys was HIPPIES! All tawking ’bout sex on a surfboard — after all, didn’t they call the wax you put on the board ’sex wax’? You betcha! — and probably drugs and stuff TOO!!!
Man, do I miss those days….
