...imagination or does it seem …? .. that teenagers these days are much more into music than they were when you were a teenager? If so, what do you think the reasons for this are? When I was a kid, I was the only one I knew who read "Rolling Stone."
 
I don't know any teenagers.
But one difference might be that back then we had this big thing that teens don't have today: Outside.
It was really cool! Like it was warm in the summer and cool in the winter and during the day there was sunshine!

I remember when they started having FM. It was so much better than AM.
Nobody dreamed of iPods of computers or two-way wrist TV's (well, maybe those...) we were all sittin' around wishing for push-button telephones and the dream that one day phones would be some color other than black.

I also remember when they added that 5th channel on the TV. And color!
MTV? VH1??

Yeah, teens and kids are more into music because they're exposed to more of it. But how many teens today can play a ukulele??
