I remember the 5 cent cokes and the original Mars Attacks cards. I also remember building ice forts in winter and having snowball fights with my neighbors. In addition, I remember when surfing first went national and the Beatles’ “I Want to Hold Your Hand” was played every hour on the hour on AM radio.
Another song I remember, produced by Paul McCartney and sung by Mary Hopkins, was “Those Were the Days.” Those truly were the days before walking at night was a time to be afraid.
