I remember a party my parents had. I remember men with skinny ties and business suits that were fitted. The men all had short, miltary haircuts even though none of them were military. My mother had a bouffant hairdo and dressed like Mary Tyler Moore on the Dick Van Dyke show. That's all I can remember of the 60s.

Well, the drugs – finally after so many struggles and uprisings opium was legalized at last and Christians were granted full civil rights, including the right to own property, and the right to evangelize.
And who could forget that dog day afternoon when the President of the United States was assassinated? That Booth-Wilkes guy was a cunt like say.

I can remember a few things like my mum coming out the back to tell me that JFK had been assasinated.I remember our next door neighbours the nichols family getting the first TV in the street.And I remember the berlin wall being built on the evening news.
I can remember my mate steve who used to shoplift LPs,his bedroom wall was covered in them.He loved the blues and protest songs like dylan's and that guy who sang about the eve of destruction.
I remember the vietnam war and the NZ MP who said it was better to fight the commies in vietnam before they crossed the canterbury plains and started shagging our sheep or was it our women-oh well same thing.
I remember attending a demo against spiro agnew outside the intercontinental hotel when the cops turned nasty and waded into th crowd with battens and then denied it.
I remember huge crowds turning out for the visit of the king and queen of thailand-twice!This was obviously a political ploy to keep us in vietnam and help the poor thais who would otherwise be over run.
I remember the beatles and I want to hold your hand being a smash and the beach boys and ONE kid in a school of 1200 who surfed.Steves girlfriends brothers were older and they had been to bali and jeffries bay and hawaii and california.
And I guess the highlight was being asked to leave school after our car theft ring was broken!

I have lots of memories of playing at preschool and shouting at the black-and-white TV every time the signal went scrambled and thinking my yelling made the picture come back on again.
I remember pretending I was an explorer in a jungle in our yard. Don't ask me how I even knew what an explorer was at three and four years old. Maybe it was watching Abbot and Costello reruns on TV.
I remember having a white cat named Tinkerbell and my mom telling me she was going to take it to her work to show everyone, but that night when she came home without Tinkerbell, she said the cat had jumped out of the car. I cried so much. She denies this ever happened, but it is exactly what I recall.
My younger years were spent watching reruns of the Monkees and the Brady Bunch, so even though I watched them on TV in the 70's, it helps me relate to people that watched these shows the first time around.
