Ron and Yellow car

This is the story of how Ron received a yellow car with a record player. I was 17 when Ron Bell received this dynamite car. Living in Detroit, my dad insisted upon domestic, mainly Chevy. So my junior year [1967], I purchased a car, slapped a record player into it and added such 'toys de jour' such as an echo chamber and things which easily allowed me to flip from sound to sound. I thought I was brilliantly cool. In those days, the unit was inverted with gyros to balance its stability...this allowed one to pop a 45 in and out at will without skipping. View this video: this is the real thing...not some kids acting cool and "....hope I die before I get old...." attitudes [The Who]. You might enjoy it and remember when life seemed easier, except in the jungles of South East Asia. We all saw constant 'body counts' on T.V., and I think that, in large part, drove the 1960s into a society changing mindset. It numbed us and the last thing we, as H.S. kids cared about was some drafted kid living the live in 'Nam's jungle on constant search and destroy missions....I didn't...that was our parents role, not the silly youth. Looking back, not much has changed to this day....political debates are out of the 20th Century, and politics seem to remain classically cyclical in nature. Your perspective will be appreciated. jfs
