"Mrs. Olsen is on a rant about the carefree 1950s." "Oh, I've heard it." "No worries about cable TV programming. No worries about Internet content. No worries about music." "Seems they carved out a little time to think about nuclear obliteration." "Only because they didn't have hip hop to distract them."
I wasn’t there, but the 1950s had problems, too: Racism, homophobia, extreme censorship, willy-nilly blacklisting, xenophobia, much too prevalent tob*cco usage, ultraconservative biases in government and Hollywood etc…
