1960s Band. Originally "clean-cut" they transformed their image and wound up playing nationally on shows like Merv Griffin and Mike Douglas. Originally formed in 1963, the band members went their separate ways in 1969.

If I had to guess, I'd say The Cavemen.

And your guess would be correct. They didn't change their sound...just dressed like the Flintstones and Viola!

1969 was when my High School classmates and I went our separate ways, too.

I was only six, but I remember thinking to myself, "What and the hell is wrong with this generation." My teenage sister was dressing like a flower child and hanging bamboo and beads in her room, and my teenage brother was wearing platform shoes and doing power-hits on his bong. Okay, I get the bong thing...and I had no problem with mini-bikes and mini-skirts!

Correct! I can only assume Michael Douglas was trying out for the role of Charles Manson back in the day.

I was 12. My cousins took me to see Jimi Hendrix on New Years Eve of 69/70.

 

[Bobby]

I saw Hendrix live several times. Once at the Newport 69 Rock Festival in June '69, another in the LA forum in June '70.... I was so blitzed at the Forum that I fell asleep for the entire second half of the show! Wild Turkey is a good thing, but.......

In 1969 I was more concerned with hearing about my drill sergeant's new and creative uses for a toothbrush.

Marine Corps?

 

[riffjim4069]

Marine Corps?

Marines use the term Drill Instructor. Army use Drill Sergeant.

 

[Bobby]

Air Force uses the term Training Instructor, which is what I had back in 1961.....

 

[jayn_j]

Don't read too much into my sloppy terminology. Air Force.
