Loved this! I had to go to a 60s themed party for work and I wore this under a swing dress and it worked perfectly.

Ben has a way to bring his views and his heart to the page.  You are with him all the way.  If you lived through this period you will be transported.  This is a sincere exploration of the time and the distance in experience between the races in the 60s.  We need to revisit our experiences through a different prism.  That makes us all better.  Don't miss this one.  jb La Jolla

I loved this novel. Brought back some of the anxiety of the 60s and the dichotomy of the time.

This was a really fun book to read!  Reading it feels like you're sitting with Hoss, hearing him tell you his tales.
I was a teenybopper during the time covered in this book.  I watched Dick Clarks Where the Action Is on TV, and I had crushes on the teen idols he worked for.  It was fascinating to read what that world was like on the other side  the side where the real drugs, sex, and rock and roll were happening.
If you are a boomer, or just a fan of 1960s rock history and music, I heartily recommend this read for the unforgettable walk down memory lane it provides, and/or for the opportunity to learn from one of its principle participants (Hoss Amans) what his side of that world was truly like in those days.  You will thoroughly enjoy reading it, and you will gain a rare and fascinating perspective.

I grew up in Franklin Square during the 60's and 70's......This book was a trip down memory lane, not to mention so many things that I had no idea about Franklin Square's history.....The many, many photos are incredible as well.....I highly recommend this !
Anyone from Franklin Square must get this book......Hats off to ya, and thank you !!
P.S.....I wish this book came in hard cover.....I live in Florida now, and have this sitting on my coffee table for everyone to enjoy !

I grew up in Bound Brook and lived through this. The book cost a buck in 1972. I was lucky enough to find a copy on eBay for three dollars. Brought back a LOT of memories.

I was nine years old on November 11, 1963. This book was a wonderful trip down memory lane and a great tale of all the "what-ifs" that most Americans have had from time to time about those times.  I highly recommend the story - a gripping story of all the possibilities!

I remember watching this show when I was a kid and really enjoying it.  About 10 years ago, I came across a couple of episodes on VHS which I had to get and it was a great trip down memory lane.  Imagine the joy I felt when I discovered the first 32 episodes available on DVD!!  I had to have it and I'm glad to have it.  If you want a trip down 80s memory lane, this is for you!

I am having a great time reminiscing about all the old rides & shops in the Disneyland Encyclopedia. There are shops & rides I recall visiting when I was little in the 60's. This is very informative & full of nostalga. Highly recomended for the Disneyland enthusiast. I love it!

I suppose by getting this album, I'm returning to a time when my life was a lot simpler and less stressful.  While stationed at Sheppard AFB TX in 1966, a bunch of us students went to see the Vogues in Amarillo, TX.  The songs were great and we had a wonderful time.  The '60's decade was full of turmoil and strife; however, you could "Escape" it for a while by listening to the music, and this album will take you back to a a place that's long-gone and far away.  It brings back really great memories - and surprisingly, I still remember the words to most of the songs!

I really enjoyed this book. It was a nostalgic trip down memory lane of young immigrants arriving in America & growing up in the early sixties.  I remember, throughout my childhood, hearing similar stories from the members of my family that arrived 1-2 decades earlier. While backgrounds were so different memories, events and even nicknames held a strong parallel. This book is not my usual genre, however I was fascinated by the similarities between ethnic groups that made America what it is today. Looking forward to a sequel

Vecchio did a marvelous job in resurrecting my boyhood dreams, memories, and yes--horrors. Although I grew up in the chaotic sixties as opposed to the fabulous fifties, I was able to reminisce fully in the cultural offerings of that bygone era--from television programming to catholic nuns to youthful indescretions. This book has it all: humor; wit; and even sadness. If you grew up around the '50s or '60s, I highly recommend "Destined For Nostalgia". Vecchio reports that Vol. 2 of his 1950s experiences is in the works--I'll be first in line to buy it!

I loved this even though I've done Disney at Christmas a couple of times.  It really has great suggestions for the first time experience and was a wonderful reminder of the beauty of the place for someone who has had the experience.  I highly recommend this if you are planning a holiday trip.  It will help you to see everything there is to see and making the trip truly magical.

Loved this trip through time to the 6th century via the mid 20th century. Ever since I first listened to the original cast album of Miss Liberty, I knew Eddie Albert was a great singer, so I'm glad that I now have a visual depiction of a singing Albert. Also, being a fan of Boris Karloff, I was overjoyed seeing him as brother of the fiancee/King Arthur. And you can't go wrong with Rodgers and Hart in my book, so having this production of one of their greatest musicals gets me all goose-pimply. All that, and the original commercials makes you think took a trip back to March 12, 1955 (although it would be a more seamless trip if the commercials were inserted back in the spots where first presented).

This definitely brought back memories! Only difference is the caramel is thicker than the marathon bar. But it's delicious! Loved it!
