A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
Spent my teens in the 60's, high school and college. Lots of changes about mid 60's with the British Invasion, but the early 60's had some great songs. Beach Boys California Girls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmIsdMWzdaE
What was interesting about that was how many people thought that it was describing Judy Blue Eyes as being sweet. Most DJs pronounced it like it was, so everyone went with that.
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
I remember all of it. Leslie Gore was from Tenafly, NJ, a few miles from where I lived. Just south of Tenafly was Englewood, where the Wicked Wilson Picket lived. He had a famous feud with the mayor as I recall.
The Beach Boys, Beatles, the Stones, and that quintessential New Jersey group, the Four Seasons, (Jersey Boys) were our AM radio favorites back then. We hung out in drive-ins like Stewart's and McDonald's, street raced, and tried to meet girls. I remember where I was when I first heard the Beatles on my car radio.
Cannot remember all the times I played this, late at night while falling asleep. It might have been the first "album", not a 45, that I bought. Made me a fan of songs on albums by many artists that didn't get much airtime, outside of very late night stuff on "underground" FM stations. I mean, after all we can't have the childrens askin "momma, what's this gotta ball to have a good time mean".
Supposedly from a demo tape by Mr Zimmerman, for those who think about early anti-drug songs.........There are even earlier versions too, Mr Cash even sang a version:
The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men. In it is contentment In it is death and all you seek (Quoted from "The Bleeding of the Stone" Ibrahim Al-Koni)
Well, it's the 21st century now and there are more than a few skitzoids out there:
