@@joefaller4525 I see what you're getting at, but one could make the argument that celebrities have always been concerned with their image, including but not limited to changing their names to make them sound less "ethnic," putting out that idea that everyone was happily married or at the very least heterosexual (going so far as to set up beards and sham marriages), that they were not only Anglo-Saxon protestants but also regular churchgoers, teetotalers, middle-class, average Joes, etc.; publicists and public relations people have been around for some time now. What they were trying to hide or emphasize has changed somewhat, although not altogether, and perhaps it is that starting in the 1970s they just began being less inconspicuous about it.

Back when this song came out I was a flat busted kid working construction welding steel up in the sky from 7 am until 5 pm. I think I was making about $2/ hr. I'd leave the job site a 5 and the local radio station played this song just about everyday at that time. I'd head to the ballpark and earn another $20/game catching for a semi-pro team. I couldn't get tired and lived life wide open because with the war looming in the near future, who knew how much future there would be. I had a long- haired girl waiting for me and we've been married 53 years now. Survived a lot since then. Raised our kids and now have six grandkids. I still haven't retired and I work everyday. I do get tired though!
