The world seems to have gotten increasingly materialistic leaving the ideals of the hippy era far behind.
11, 12 & 13 are self explanatory as they refer to the dates in their titles.

Less obvious than having the date in the title.

Last topic ended with an interesting blend, but not what I had intended. I should have said something when S&G’s Mrs. Robinson was posted, which reminisced about the days of Joe DiMaggio. i was looking more for music NOT reminiscing , but a lyric or two that dated an otherwise timeless song. Next time, I’ll make the criteria a bit clearer.
