Life in the Beach Retro (aka: Before you were born)
Beach Retro- Post Nuclear Wonder Years
1946-1966 were a trying twenty years for our culture in general. ‘Life is a Beach’ attitude of Southern California had its test. No one could be oblivious any longer to the grind of the Cold War. Threats of mutual nuclear destruction hovered over us upon a madman’s whim, and the innocence of the era was colored by imaginary clouds of radioactive angst that a generation harbored in their minds – but carried on with a measure of blithe. This series attempts to re-create those wonder years Utopia meets dystopia.
So, party on!
Fortunately, no nuclear summer occurred, and humanity got a grip on just how precious the planet is. Practice Joy not Angst – work on you tan, not a bomb shelter.
