Loved those old style dinner's(sp?). Funny how the old cool styles went out of fashion to be replaced with the latest cool, hip, trendy, fashionable, in vogue... if it's old, throw it out mentality. Guilty as charged. Now I have to throw myself out with the trash. ha ha.
Edit#1 American Hot Wax. Wiki: Although director Floyd Mutrux created a fictionalized account of Freed's last days in New York radio by utilizing real-life elements outside of their actual chronology, the film does accurately convey the fond relationship between Freed, the musicians he promoted, and the audiences who listened to them.

Yosemite is crawling with 'biners.

Are black beans (negritos) Latin soul food?

I thought it was A train’s engine that gleamed..:
I’m the same age as Patrick & lived a few miles away from him, saw Amercann Graffitti in 11th grade... we were going, with the Russiam Club to see Crime and Punishment ( with Peter Lorre as Raskolnikov!) but it was sold out, so we went to see this new movie.... it changed our vernacular! “ Who cut the chees,” “ shotgun!”
My friends used to cruise the Main in Walnut Creek too. As a Toyota driver it wasn’t really
My scene
But
I went along a couple times....
I went to my freshman year of high school (1970) in a Chicago suburb, Park Forest, you were either s Greaser, jock, or hippy!
We Moved to Moraga ( a much more average less Uber class place than it is now) Ca the next summer. The scene was totally different, much more clique integrated but much whiter. There were hippies with GTO’s! ( pronounced “Goats”) Jocks smoked pot even! No designated greasers. We didn’t use the term yet, but it was a school of stoners!
Emerging stoner culture...
The Grateful Dead, then known as the Warlocks, played at my high School, Campolindo, a few years before I got there.....
Edit; sigh, I will Always have a thing for Sissy Spacek!

Mr. Starkweather had the doo, but I do not know if he had enough grease to be a greaser.
Caril kept it clean.
Had my paper route in those days and followed it closely in the headlines.
Was Charlie a hodad? I have no idea, but he neither surfed nor climbed.
Garbage (there is a break called Garbage off Pt. Loma) and killing was "his thing".
Before she met her downfall, Fugate lived with her family in Lincoln, Nebraska. Her sister Barbara was dating Starkweather’s friend and introduced the two in 1956 during a night out. Shortly after meeting, Fugate returned home one night to find that Starkweather had shot and killed her stepfather and her mother.
Was it a car club? Well, not really. More of a car-stealing kind of deal.
At 19 years old, Starkweather was “a swaggering good-for-nothing in blue jeans and a black motorcycle jacket.” A former garbage man known for yelling “go to hell” at strangers, [4] he was “stocky” and “well-built” but “small” at 5’5”. His normally red hair was now black with shoe polish. He wore rimless glasses [5] and black-and-white cowboy boots. [6] A James Dean wannabe, Starkweather was a rebel whose cause had devolved into instilling fear and dissipating his own smoldering rage.

Mathis' wheels, a Fairlane, had an eight track deck with speakers on the rear platform.
His dad's Impala had reverbs in the rear speakers.
The Main Drag was West 17th and went exactly one mile each way, Vernon's at the west end on 16th, and Cecil's Golden Chicken at the other end.
Two lanes in both directions meant a lot of traffic after Friday night football and on Saturday date nights.
The Flames rode low and drove slow, only occasionally throwing someone a "moon."
Ow-oo-oo-oo-oo!

Interesting side note
Guns were pretty uncommon in 1962 and thereabouts
The family killers in my town were bludgeoneers
For example
... Inside the home were the dead bodies of his family—his parents, Henry and Joan, his 15-year-old sister, Ellen, and his eight-year-old brother, Mark.Henry had been beaten with a steel rod and stabbed 20 times. The rest of the family had been bludgeoned to death. When the police arrived, Raymond greeted them with a casual “hi.”
