I grew up in Newtonville MA and Lincoln MA. I lived in Cambridge, Boston, and in Somerville for the past 34 years. I tell people I'm from Somerville, because Somerville's where I've lived the longest.
Teenage life in the 1960's was mixed. Although there were things that needed to change, and bad things happened, there were good times as well. The rock music was great, as were fashions and hairstyles, I keep my hair long.
The 1960's that was bad in that people were not encouraged to stick up for themselves if physicall8y attacked without provocation, especially girls and women,. That changed in the 1970's. Martial Arts for use as self-defense when physically attacked became popular.
. From the late 1970's, I took Japahnese Jiujitsu from a teacher in Boston's south end, until h e sold his place in the mid-1980's. After 26 years without Martial Arts, at thanksgiving time of 2010, I joined a Tae Kwon Do dojang, where I've been going 2-3 times a week ever since.

"Little Boxes" has been recorded by so many artists but only The Women Folk version broke the Top 100 furing the 1960s. I just heard the song by an unknown artist, so the song is still out there. Keep rockin' Wally!
