Farmdude, I'm trying to pretend, between the fading eyesight and bad back, that I am still as young as my kids. 
lmao Thanks for the slap in the face and reality check to bring thing back into focus. 
I remember all of those things, so at least I still have my memory. 
You were in the 1st grade when I peed in my 1st diaper.

I was very young in the 60's but some of it I remember, I also had a 62 Belvedere with the push button transmission. Always had to remember to use the "park" lever on hills or you would lose your car when you came out.

During Woodstock my family was camping in the next town over from Bethel - a place called Woodbourne. We had come back to NY on leave from San Diego and couldn't understand why Route 17 AKA "The Quickway" was wall to wall bikes and micro-buses.Today the Bethel Woods Performing Arts center hosts headline acts from all over the place.
We had a push button tranny on my mom's Chrysler.
My very first ride was a 1968 VW "Fastback". My uncle owned a garage and got it on a garagemen's lien. He gave it to me as payment for pumping gas and sweeping up.
We didn't get a color TV until 1972.
TV Shows....we watched Bonanza, Gunsmoke, I Love Lucy, Leave it to Beaver, Dennis the Menace, Mr. Ed, I Dream of Jeannie, Gilligan's Island. Saturday's was Looney Tunes, The Cisco Kid and the Lone Ranger.
I do remember living on base and dreading seeing the Chaplain's car turning onto your street or worse riding bikes home from school and seeing it parked in front of a neighbor's house.
I don't know about better or simpler.... maybe just different.
