Reminiscing About the Heyday of Cruising The Great Reset is All In Our Heads A Blast from My Radio Past Tucker Carlson: Alex Jones and Other Last Remaining Opposition Are the Real Targets of this Political Witch-hunt
Welcome back Critical Thinkers,
Keeping With Our Christmas Tradition:
An unearthed Official Beach Boys [1966] Video of "Little Saint Nick," provides a characteristic snap-shot of what was unfolding in 1966 United States; arguably, Flower Power was in full-bloom, the price of color televisions becoming more affordable, The Monterey Pop Festival & The Summer of Love were a scant-- just-over--six months away, setting the stage for a generation.
A generation that became the dominant force and demographic of the 1980's '90's and, Aughts.
Personally, I always had a connection with this song because it strengthened my idolization of The American Muscle Car-era; the tune speaks to a Santa with a candy-apple red sled with a 4-speed stick--California taking-the-cake for being--the if not the epicenter--of cruising, track & street racing, and for me, Sacramento's Central Valley Cali was the cruising mecca of Street Rodding, in many ways.
There were others in all those smaller valley towns, such as Modesto where the movie, American Graffiti was to have taken place in what if, I recall, was Summer of 1963 or '64; this, right at the birth of the muscle car with the 1964 Pontiac GTO and by '64-&-a-1/2, the Ford Mustang debuting.
This scene replicated itself in the biggest cities too:
Shout-out to here in SF, The Mission & Sunset Cruise out on 19th and The Great Highway, LA's Van Nuys Blvd, yet, for me, it was those American River Drive (s) daily, that ingrained my strong embrace of Detroit's best offerings.
Meanwhile, back in the Sac: Fair Oaks Blvd, Sunrise Mall, Madison at Greenback or Arden and Watt, Cal Expo--an almost month-long California State Fair during sticky-tire-months of Late August & September launches street-racing on Arden Way.
AND, the new Alta-Arden Way Expressway; oftentimes, or a more nostalgic take, we would head downtown where previous generations experiences played-out, J' Street replaced by what was K' Street once that ugly outdoor mall went in around 1950-something in The Sac.
If you like that kind of stuff, try my old companion-blog to my three-semester stream-cast at SFSU; accordingly, it is a look back at growing-up in both Northern and Southern California, set to a soundtrack of music from 1968-1980:

Let Us Move On
Now, having dispensed with the ramblings of a relic Okay Boomer, where were we?
Oh yeah, be sure to see what I just wrote this morning, finishing my last post started on December 14th.
Why?
I am hearing lots of chatter from multiple sources that further evidence in which elements of the deep state--agent provocateurs--were running a psy-op, on January 6th and there is to be more damning evidence to be released tomorrow.
As for now, I want to post some news items and look at what is expected to be a big news story regarding Congressman Liz Cheney [R-WY] somehow being involved in the planning of the attack on the US Capital on January 6, 2021.
. . .not sure if this will materialize, yet there are rumblings.

A Bit of a Blast From the Past While Tying-into Some Inside Bays' Ball
What was his famous quote relayed by KAER Morning Personality & Producer Kitty O'Neil? "Kitty, where is the Big O' Tire spot?" O'Neil: "I think Drake is still working on it" Limbaugh: "What is a Drake?" O'Neil: "The overnight guy on 'Care'" Limbaugh: "Oh....the long-haired maggot infested FM-type who fried his brain on drugs in the '70's."O'Neil: "Yeaaaahhh, I'll go see if we can squeeze-it-in the next break." ...may have been thinking of 9-Noon Bob O' Conner, but who knows. KAER 92.5 was an oftentimes--target of Limbaugh's derision--management encouraging him to do so in order to drive people to our dial-position and become listeners. |
