Sometimes, in an almost sad way I look back at how things were, and I wish we could transport our lives back to the olden days. In the 50’s and 60’s things seemed so much quainter. Families actually talked to each other, the phone was something for calling a friend or family briefly, not something that your kids were glued to permanently. The TV shows and movies were good clean fun, that anyone could watch at any time. Maybe it’s just me but life seemed so much more relaxed and pleasurable back in those days.
Take this next video clip, which stars Elvis in the movie “GI Blues” . Imagine trying to sell this script to a movie director today … So we get the biggest name in rock and roll and we get him singing in a movie to some string puppets. I doubt you would ever get another interview for a movie idea ever again.
And yet if you actually watched this movie it was a true classic and brought a lot of pleasure to millions of fans worldwide. Sometimes I think it is better to slow life down a little and enjoy it rather than always rushing onto the next thing. Watch this video and enjoy a true classic.
