I thought you might appreciate this.
back when bands all had hair(no shaved heads) and young ladies preferred guys with hair.
betcha none of those young women would have wasted their time on some buzzhead. am I right?
The Turtles, You Showed Me Live
1969. That was the year the Turtles released the song.
Yeah all the bands had long hair, I don't remember very many having short hair and/or buzzcuts.
I have fond memeroies of that year. When this song came on the radio i was recording it on my reel to reel tape recorder. I had started growing my hair long in 1964, by 1969 it was even longer,
and the music was really great.
Were most of the women supportive of long hair? some supportive? or all of them supportive?
I am referring to young women that were in the same age bracket of those in that video(18-24)
Where I was living at the time (the 1960s in Milwaukee Wisconsin)
all the women I knew were very supportive. All the women also
had long hair, they also wore same clothes that us guys did
(bell bottoms, etc.)
The only complaints i got was from the dictators who ran the school, I don't recall any of the women (18-24) complaining.
The ones I knew were all very supportive.
When this song came on the radio i was recording it on my reel to reel tape recorder.
I love this! Gotta love the old R to R recorders!

When you're downloading music from the internet it's basically an extension of the old fashioned way we did in the 1960s........putting the microphone of the old reel to reel recorder up to the speaker and recording the song off the radio.
Not he best quality, but heck, for me the price was right.
Hi LHIA,
That does seem like a crude way of doing things when you consider today's methods. I remember recording onto cassette tapes. My parents had the R to R set. I do still own 2 pairs of Electrovoice Aristocrat speakers though. Sold my Dynaco stuff. Those EVs are very sensitive. I can drive them with 1/2 watt of amplifier power.

Yes it was crude but the price was right. Music singles were
difficult to obtain and expensive for this teenager who was not
able to work to earn money until I was in high school. Where we
lived there were no stores nearby that sold records. We had a loal mall that had a bunch of stores, none of which sold records.
