[QUOTE="john250, post: 694505, member: 4406"] Coffee shops were in New York City, not in my town. Beatniks hung out in coffee shops and played bongos, for reasons no one remembers. In my town, we had Diners or Soda Shops or Drive-Ins. Except for the drive ins, they all had the juke box at the table set-up. I saw a juke box a while back, and ONE FREAKING SONG was $1 USCurrency. If a titmouse recorded Mozart or sang Pagliaci I wouldn't pay a dollar to hear it only once. They would play the national anthem when they signed on and signed off. "Staring at the test pattern" was slang for insomnia or drunkeness or depression. Princess Winterfallsummerspring was a real hottie. Annette on the "Mickey Mouse Club" was hotter. They were 98 cents, and now you pay that for one song on a jukebox. There were two prices for albums. "Mono" was usually a little cheaper than "Stereo". Studebaker was an Indiana company, and as they lurched toward the grave our state highway department bought a fleet of their pickup trucks. Until maybe '78, there were still a good number of those trucks on the road (private owners who bought them at state auctions) Most of us remember these as "warshtub wringers". [/quote] [/QUOTE]
