Hey Carl, do you recall the "Daisy" ad, officially known as "Peace, Little Girl," is one of the most iconic and controversial political TV spots in American history. It aired during the 1964 U.S. presidential campaign on behalf of President Lyndon B. Johnson, who was seeking election against Republican challenger Barry Goldwater. Tony Schwartz created this political advertisement, and he became famous for it. I was too young when the ad appeared on tv knowing what I know now about 1960's I see why it was pulled off the air after one showing in 1964 if you are interested in seeing ad the title of the video
"The TV Spot That Defeated A Presidential Candidate. The Background Story" and can be found on David Hoffman YouTube channel it was posted on February 13 2024 thanks Carl,

Drew :!time:

Admin reply: I do not remember that ad. I will check it out. Always great to hear from you Drew.

"Hey" Carl.........loved Neals "Lovefest" from the songs you picked for last year, February. Kinda funny, but I have almost all of them downloaded on my Spotify. And there are a few there that I don't have, but will. Good picks!
Hope you and your wife had a lovely Valentine's Day. I know that down there in Texas you probably had a warmer one than us here in Iowa. But we had been having some great February weather, that is by our usual February weather. I have a brother that lived for years in Hobbs, NM. right on the border with Texas. After retiring moved by San Antonio, then said too many people were moving there so is now a little north and west of Houston. So, I guess you can call him a Texan now. Been there in Texas quite a few years now.

Admin reply: Great to hear from you Wally as usual! Both my wife and I have been under the weather for a week and a half and it has been chilly here but of course not as cold as Iowa. High 70s weather heading our way next week but temporary I suspect. Neal can always make a fun event for any theme. That is what drove me to him for DJing my website. I sure miss him even after 8 months. Thanks again for signing the guestbook.

Hello -

Love everything 60s. Thanks for your site. I am an historian for the Bronx American history theme park Freedomland U.S.A. (1960-1964). Oversee social media memory pages and second book just days away from publication.

Saw your "Naked City" page as I am doing research on a specific episode (The Bridge aired December 1961) that was taped on the water outside the theme park. Do you know of a resource that tells me when the outdoor Bronx location shots were filmed?

Thanks.

Admin reply: Thank you for visiting The 60s Official Site Mike. I am sorry I cannot answer your question regarding when and where the shots were done.

Signing in here to salute you for your great website and blog, and to ask a question. There is a TV commercial I remember that had a young brother and sister talking and the brother was about to get in trouble. I don't recall the exact circumstance, but I think he was going to or had just done something that would permanently stain his clothes. She said to him, "Mom's gonna kill ya!" But the product the commercial was for saved his life. The ad was pulled quickly and the verbiage was changed to "Mom's gonna be mad!" or something similar. I have looked for this for years and never found it. Any leads out there?

Admin reply: Thanks Bob for visiting and signing the guestbook. I have no clue on that commercial and my research came up with one possibility with the product Bounce. If you have a Facebook account try and post the question on it and see if somebody comes up with the answer. Thanks again.

Once again, thanks Carl for this January show. Enjoyed Neal's show again. Also enjoyed looking around the site some more. If you can't find it here you might not be able to find it. About the 60s I mean. I even got the trivia question about the Bee Gees right. Although I think it was just a lucky guess. Anyway, it is always fun messing around your site.

Admin reply: Great to hear from you Wally and thanks for stopping by and messing around the site. Happy New Year! I drank a Yuengling in Neal's honor on New Years.

Hey Carl, I really enjoy revisiting "Soundtrack of the 60's" with the late great Neal Stevens commentary.

Thanks again for keeping The 60's Official Website up and running for over 18 years I have enjoyed my time spent over the years here! May this New Year 2024 treat you kindly Carl?

Drew :!time:

Admin reply: Happy New Year to you Drew and thank you for being a loyal fan. May 2024 be more prosperous than 2023 for all of us. God bless you and your family.
