CHORUS:
Oh baby give me one more chance
(show that I love you)
Won’t you please let me
(back in your heart)
Oh darlin’ I was blind to let you go
(let you go baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
I think this song reflects the culture, because at this time, it wasn’t
about drugs or sexual interactions. It was about love. The culture is so
much different than ours now. All we care about is getting drunk at a
party, and getting high. But back then it was different, and yes, some
people only cared about smoking, or something. But others just wanted
to be happy with their husband or kids. The teens and unmarried adults
wanted change after the Vietnamese war, everyone wanted peace and
love. Some say it was the era of hippies. But others just wanted to be
different. So that is why I think that this song does really reflect the
culture of 1969. If you actually research about the year, it shows that a
lot has changed since then. Maybe it’s a good thing, but it other ways it
could be not so great.
President
During the year 1969, we had two presidents, Lyndon Baines Johnson and
Richard Milhous Nixon. Johnson served from 1963-1969, and was a
democrat. Nixon served from 1969-1974, and was a republican. Johnsons’
vice president was Hubert Humphrey. Nixon had two vice presidents, Spiro
Agnew, and Gerald R. Ford. Johnson was born August 27, at Stonewall,
Texas. November 22, Lyndon Baines Johnson became the 36th President of
the United States following the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas,
Texas. On January 20, Johnson returned to Texas and the LBJ Ranch,
following the inauguration of President Richard M. Nixon. As Senator, Vice
President, and President, Johnson had exercised strong leadership in the U.
S. space program. On July 16, at President Nixon's request, President
Johnson attended the launching of Apollo 11 at Cape Kennedy, Florida.
Apollo 11 carried astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and
Michael Collins toward the moon. On July 20, while Michael Collins circled
the moon in the command module Columbia, Neil Armstrong and "Buzz"
Aldrin became the first men to land on the moon. The flight represented the
fulfillment of the goal, set in 1961 and reaffirmed by President Johnson, of
reaching the moon in the 1960s.
Born in California in 1913, Nixon had a brilliant record at Whittier College
and Duke University Law School before beginning the practice of law. His
accomplishments while in office included revenue sharing, the end of the
draft, new anticrime laws, and a broad environmental program. As he had
promised, he appointed Justices of conservative philosophy to the Supreme
Court. One of the most dramatic events of his first term occurred in 1969,
when American astronauts made the first moon landing.

Clothing
The chap on the phone is wearing a high-gorge 3x6 double-breasted blazer
in moss green hopsack with antique brass buttons. Very "Edwardian"! The
peak lapels and the flap pockets have a distinct downward angle and the
high button stance of jacket was all the rage in swinging London during this
period. Everyone from Mick Jagger to Michael Caine were seen sporting this
"fitted" type of jacket silhouette. The blazer is paired with a Prince of Wales
plaid trouser and a simple, semi-spread-collared dress shirt in light green
with a gold tie to match that has a subtle green pattern. The bight red phone
ties it all together - a very dapper look indeed! Just go and try replicating
this look today at your local men's shop. (are there any left?!!) It will never
happen. Long gone are the days when a chap could walk into a store and
buy a solid green colored blazer, or any other color than navy or black for
that matter. Locating a double-breasted style like this one today, would be
akin to spotting a unicorn or Big Foot! So hurry, get one now!
Movie!

and Oliver Reed, Glenda Jackson and Jennie Linden. Written by D.H.

chose, but hurry, come on down!

I think star trek is cool if you’re into like si-fi stuff. I don’t
hate it, but it was ok. I just don’t like stuff like that. But
other than that, it was a pretty good show. My favorite
character is Spock.
