Socs and Greasers (Oklahoma Reference there)
commies and capitalists
christians and jews
jews and muslims
muslims and hindus
etc and etc

This thread has a new theme it seems

God's Folly


that is the first i have heard of socs (that term). we had greasers though when we were in school, and i do understand what you are talking about. me and my best friend from school i would say were more hippie like though, but i tell you, no one was safe from our antics...not even teachers! we would get an idea in our heads and that was it! we would just get caught up in a whimsical moment... looking back, i suppose we were lucky to have been recieved in good humour generally...?
actually, my friend and her family i would say were a cultered one, you know, art and music and all...i remember her dad would make me laugh, and one day when we were all sitting around i commented on how he had such a way with words and he just smiled, and someone pointed out finally that he was an editor for such and such publication. pffft....

soc pronounced so....sh sosh

from the S E Hinton novels about growing up in Tulsa Oklahoma in the late 50's. The Outsiders and Rumble Fish. I always liked Tulsa. Saw Arlo there a long time ago at the Cain's Ballroom. Home of Bob Wills back in the dirty 30's.

Where is PF Sloan? Jimmy Webb's latest is really good. He does a great version of Oklahoma Nights. I think it is called Across The River or something like that.

I am wondering too if he is ok. I looked it up and it is almost a year that he last locked in. Hoping that he will come by soon paying us a visit.

Could have been the cook ......

....in the kitchen

....with the garlic press.

Or maybe just flatulence from eating the roasted garlic the night before. You're right, Gus! It was Larry!
