About Me
- Law and Order Teacher
- I am a retired police officer. In an inexplicable moment of madness I then became a high school history teacher in 2002. As I navigate through daily life I am keenly aware that my generation owes the country an apology for the 1960s. Although I was not an active participant, on behalf of all the burned out hippies that are leading most of our institutions of higher learning, I'm sorry!

How'd I miss THIS one?
I liked that very much, too...
Look at the clothes of the kids in the audience! Imagine SUITS and TIES on the guys?
THOSE were the days..decent, good, naive, respectful.
Then came THE BEATLES. (Mr Z blames a LOT on the Beatles! Of course, he only listened to Classical music in university so one must forgive him!)
Oh, just now on our radio they started playing LISTEN TO THE MUSIC by the DOOBIE BROTHERS! That was a great tune, too, don't you think!?
Z,
That what struck me too. American kids even in the rebellious 60s were still respectfull. It got out of hand in the late 60s when the criminals took over. We've been screwed ever since.
The Beatles were bad!!!!!! They are my guys. When they were on Ed Sullivan even my dad said, I kind of like what they're singing. That was a great moment.
I forgive you Mr. Z and still respect you. What's a sea shanty?

that explains sea shanteys...I just can't find one on YouTube, but they're marvelous German songs about being on the seas, or returning home, etc...just marvelous!
