57 CHEVY - Sit Back and Enjoy!!!!!! Remember =hen......? Turn on your sound and remember. . . . You'll enjoy this one. OK, so =ome of you =ight have been too young to remember . . . . enjoy the music anyway. REMEMBER.... When the worst thing you could do at school was =moke in the bathrooms, flunk a test or chew gum. And the banquets were =n the cafeteria and we danced to a juke box later, and all the girls =ore fluffy pastel gowns and the boys wore suits for the first time and we =ere allowed to stay out till 12 =.m. When a '57 Chevy was everyone's dream car. . . =o cruise, peel out, lay rubber and watch drag races, and people went steady and =irls wore a class ring with an inch of wrapped dental floss or yarn coated with pastel frost =ail polish so it would fit her =inger. And no one ever asked where the =ar keys were 'cause they were always in the car, in the ignition, and the doors =ere never locked. And you got in big trouble if you accidentally locked the =oors at home, since no one ever had a key. Remember lying on your back on the grass with =our friends and saying things like "That cloud looks like a..." And playing baseball with no =dults to help kids with the rules of the game. Back then, baseball was not a =sychological group learning experience-it was a game. Remember when stuff from the =tore came without safety caps and hermetic seals 'cause no one had yet tried to =oison a perfect stranger. And...with all our =rogress...don't you just wish...just once...you could slip back in time and savor the slower =pace...and share it with the children of the 80's and 90's... So send this on to someone who can still =emember Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, Laurel & Hardy, Howdy Doody and The Peanut =allery,And The Lone Ranger, The Shadow Knows, Nellie Belle, Roy and Dale, =rigger and Buttermilk as well as the sound of a real mower on Saturday morning, and =ummers filled with bike rides, playing in cowboy land, baseball games, bowling =nd visits to the pool...and eating Kool-Aid powder with sugar. When being sent to the =rincipal's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home. Basically, we were in fear for our lives, but =t wasn't because of drive by shootings,drugs, gangs,etc. Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger =threat! But we all survived because their love was greater than =he threat. Didn't that feel good, just to go back and say, =eah, I remember that!

And was it really that long ago?
