Enjoy it now, It'll get crazy in 30 years

The early 1900's profiled similar to other periods in the American journey, a big war set the scene, but the government told us to 'keep cool'. Soda, Radio and Freedom were in demand and the thriving entertainment, lights and flappers later became the definition of 'classy' and 'chic'.

We had some rough times in the 30's, but Americans provided for their have nots and empty stomachs with big bands, theater and baseball. In the 1940's, a united country saw the impact of war and the might of industry. Then there was the 60's, by now the nation was divided like congress on a budget session. A liberal youth was at war against the establishment, integrationists against segregationists, anti-war vs pro-war...Whoa. not so fast! perhaps you think. When did 'it' hit the fan?, and what about the 1950's?, you know! the point of this blog! Well my friends, The 1950's was the Point of no return. During the following series of posts, We'll venture on what made the the 50's rock!
