While it took time to get to Classical Gas, he started off with Malaguena, and then Flight of the bumblebee. Not only a talented musician but funny as hell. That was back in the day when you didn't even say Hell or Damn on tv.......a LONG time ago!!

[@UserName_no1]

Or "Let's spend the night together" or "Come on baby light my fire". Even married couples couldn't be shown together in bed, even if they were just propped up reading a book. Prudes. Censors are rolling over in their graves now.

[@survivrs]

@@UserName_no1 Actually I was shocked that on the Brady Bunch, Mike and Carol were shown getting into bed together and sharing a good night kiss which was shocking back in about 1969. On the Dick Van Dyke show, they had separate twin beds and I don't remember seeing them in clothes other than him in a suit and her in a dress. Dear God, I've never liked to wear a dress, and as soon as I would get home from work, I was in shorts or sweats just depending on the season. Amazing how the time has changed. What is interesting is that back in the early-mid 70's I think, they outlawed advertising tobacco products on tv and to this day they still can't do it. I was so embarrassed back then when they started advertising "Feminine hygiene products". My parents were in their 50's and I wanted to vanish. These days, no big deal, now they have ED pills and they're advertising meds for a bent dick. Now boys get to be embarrassed in front of their moms for the same reasons. Times have truly changed. I need to go back and listen to George Carlins bit on "7 words you can't say on tv" because I think one or two can be crossed off his list. Thanks for giving me a laugh!!

[@UserName_no1]

@@survivrs Yeah, when I referenced banned song lyrics (e.g. Rolling Stones, Beach Boys, and The Doors) I was going back to the days of black&white TV and Ed Sullivan. Censorship occured before then (e.g. Chuck Barry's My Ding-a-ling) but that's when it came out on Front Street. Every once in a while a songwriter would slip something in. Case in point Harry Nilsson's Gotta Get Up e.g. " he would come to town and pound her for a couple of days"..... But the televised coverage of Woodstock (69) (no bras) and the Vietnam war (mid 60s onward) (the image of an Asian civilian summarily executed by a North Vietnamese military officer on a Cambodian street on the 6 o'clock news) changed everything. *Funny* how learning about the sexual orientation of leading men like 'Rock' Hudson and Darren Stevens(mid 60s onward), and Mike Brady (early to mid 70s), would flip our perceptions on their head(s), pun intended. I get your point about banning tobacco products (to this day) and allowing terms pertaining to one's genitals today. You can say vagina, but not cunt (only on cable/internet) or penis, but not dick. You can prick your finger, but you can't finger your prick~George Carlin (RIP). The 7 words are shit, piss, cunt, fuck, cock sucker, mother fucker, and tits. We can now say ass, bitch, fart, turd, twat, and pecker depending on the context in which it is delivered. Yeah I'm a big fan of the Critical Thinker. Sorely missed. Another thing that I found subliminally disturbing was the misogynistic depiction of women in cartoons and sitcom tv. Or the derogatory depiction of minorities. Allowing late night tv in the mid 60s to early 70s to tackle that Puritan bubble was key. As were prime time shows like All in the Family, Good Times, The Jeffersons, and the immortal Sanford and Son. Ahhh, the days of innocence.
