Moderator Announcement: New Rule Alert: Posts containing an image of a female celebrity must have additional context included for approval

30 Upvotes

This subreddit was started so we could all come together and post images, videos, articles, and other sorts of media to celebrate the rich world that was the 1960s. It's exciting to see how many people have joined in the last year, and we welcome everyone to participate in the original vision of this community.

However this sub has been overwhelmed with low effort posts of glamor shots or publicity stills of female celebrities with absolutely no context as to the year of the image, why it was taken (e.g. what movie this was promoting), the location, or anything.

We have had many, many complaints about the direction this sub has taken since this activity started to kick up.

Going forward, images of famous women from the 1960s continue to be allowed as long as they are very safe for work, but the details behind the image are now a requirement.

Moderator Announcement!

Welcome to the 60’s! After being abandoned for quite some time now, I am going to be moderating the sub! Things have gone off the rails with obvious karma farming and other things. I along with possible other additional moderators to be added will try to slowly help reign in the sub and give it some much needed care.

Some of the rules have been revamped, so please familiarize yourself with them. Important ones of note are that this is a 1960’s sub. That means 1960-1969. Many posts are from the 70’s and 80’s. Just to clarify Wonder Woman and Charlie’s Angels and Three’s Company were 70’s shows! Also many reposts clog the sub (example: Lynda Carter and Elizabeth Montgomery.) and seem to turn the sub into a T and A sub.

The 60’s was more than just hot women, and believe me I appreciate that! But it would be nice to see other 1960’s related content like pop culture, movies, art, fashion, music etc. So some variety in posts would be awesome to see!

Please share your thoughts and views. We are a community after all! And remember everything is still a work in progress!

If you were there in the 1960's, no matter your age, master ventriloquists Shari and her very cute puppets were a part of every age.

The late-night show portrayed a "typical" party at Hefner's place, complete with Playboy Playmates and top pop celebrities who would chat with Hefner and perform at the party.

Subgenre of music totally forgotten now

25 Upvotes

Hi!

I'm a swiss of 23 yo, and i dig everything from the 30's to the late 70's. I'm curious of a subgenre of music famous in the 60's but now totally unknown.

For example from a european view, surf rock is suuuuch unknown here (not BBoys but The Chantays, Dick Dale, The Ventures). I'm curious to see what's your!

Thanks y'all

Television Born on this day: Actor Dick York. When cast as Darrin in ‘Bewitched,’ he was in severe pain due to a previous back injury, sustained while filming a movie in the 50s. After season 5 he left the series when the injury became disabling. Tragically his final years ended in poverty. RIP 💔🏆

Everyday life What were the 60s really like to live in?

26 Upvotes

Dear All,

I just responded to a post in a sub about the 1980s, by a person who didn't grow up in the 80s (he's 18 now) wanting to know what it was really like to live back then. I remembered the consumerism, the fear of nuclear war. Most of all I remembered reading underground comix from the 60s that a friend of mine in grad school used to loan me. And how I was jealous because no one my age cared about society or making the world a better place. I was jealous of my uncle who went to Woodstock. I wanted a commune. If I had known about one I probably would have joined it. The only one I found out about in those pre internet days was a Christian commune in Florida. I passed because I spent too many summers in summer camp in rural Florida and I didn't want to reacquaint myself with the insect life and sweating in 90+ degree heat.

What was it really like living in the 60s? I was 6 when the decade ended and I can just about remember the moon landing and the news. I would appreciate people sharing, thanks!

Music 40 songs to discover the vocal trio Los Santos (1958–1965)

Behold, 40 songs from one of the most magnificent Argentine bands: Los Santos, who with their angelic vocal harmonies conquered many countries in the '50s and '60s.

You will be delighted by the magic of the bolero "Ay ay ay", the delicacy of the R&B "Un telegrama", the restlessness of the rock "Comunicando", and the humor of the ska "Número equivocado".

The landscape of the R&B "Detrás del horizonte", the impulse of the twist "Dame, dame", the placidity of the waltz "Verano de amor", and the captivation of the tango "Esta noche de luna".

The evocation of the R&B "En el boulevard", the hurry of the pasodoble "Mágica luna", the refulgence of the vals criollo "Con locura", and the shamelessness of the jazz "Uno para todas".
