SD Tom 2's Comments

I grew up in the 60's in Los Angeles and they had one of these music *movie* jukeboxes (no such thing as a music *video* in the 60's) in the bowling alley cafe where my parents bowled in a league every Friday night. We kids used to sneak into the cafe to watch some of the music movies other people played because it was not only new and 'groovy', they were in vivid color. We never saw anything on film in color outside of the movie theater. We didn't even own our first color television until 1970 because we couldn't afford it and none of the people we knew had color television.

When us kids managed to beg and plead our father into playing just one music movie for us, which was a rare treat indeed, my Dad would huff and grumble about having to drop a whole .25ยข into the 'infernal contraption' (as he called it) because it was so darned expensive. It cost the same as a full gallon of gasoline for Pete's sake!
