"We Were More Than a Slice of American Pie"

So I just heard the song Slice by Five for Fighting yesterday and it really got me thinking about a simpler time, a time when people's lives weren't controlled by cell phones, Facebook, computers, and pretty much all things electronic. Don't get me wrong, I don't think I could live without my cell phone, but it would have been nice to live when everyone wasn't technology obsessed. I think it would have been cool to live during the 60's. People actually got excited every time they heard a new song because music wasn't easily accesible. American Bandstand was where all the new music was heard first and waiting for it to come on was so exciting. Music just couldn't be bought instantly online, you actually had to go out and buy a record. I love Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and it's so weird to think that Rock n' Roll was once considered a bad thing, but that's what made it so great, it was like something you shouldn't be doing, but you couldn't help it. I think it's funny how it used to be scandalous to wear a skirt that didn't touch your knees, now girls leave the house with everything hanging out and no one even thinks twice. Sometimes I really do think life would be better if we went back to a simpler way of thinking.
