Your 18 Again and you’ve just been paid , plus it’s Saturday night , what would you be doing and where would you be going

[George1959]

Saturday night at 18? Exactly on my 18th birthday I visited a strip club with my male friends. They were younger and prohibited but nobody asked for the ID cards. Was a nice evening. On other Saturdays visiting a bar and drinking a beer with friends or being at home and watching tv.
But you've asked "18 again ..." I would stay at home and read a good book.

Aha, that was you cruising down PCH, or was it Whittier Blvd?

Ha ha....it was Belmont Ave.

At 18 again, I would write a different story, and get into computers earlier. Be at the library or in a cold computer room playing with a mainframe.

Driving over the CT state line into NY State, stop at Brewster Lanes. Bowled, drank cocktails and danced.

Drinking age was only 18 in NY, but CT was 21. Had an expired driver's license of a friend for ID in case they asked. They did, but either couldn't read or didn't care.

NJ was the same situation as CT. Not that anyone in NY ever carded me - or anyone else.

If I were already living in Hollywood, I would probably have been walking Hollywood or Sunset Blvds with my BFF. If still in NJ, I'd have crossed the bridge to Staten Island with friends and found some fun there.

Farm Field work and Chores done, bath and Spring Baseball. After the Game the Junior and Seniors would hang out around the Park for a bit, School friendships seemed so important, hanging out was the to do and then go our ways. Weather always played with us. Our parents would be out for Dinner and Dance until late. Going off to college was on all of our minds. Some chose the National Guard route. It was a different time then. Big Cars, Big engines, gear binders, rough gravel roads. The rough roads though paved still remain. ....What ya did ya paid cash for or bought with a Check. Town Clowns all ways looked for the kid to run a stop sign. Around 3 AM you could find them parked around the Doughnut shop for Coffee. I guess I was around 20 when I met my first real Girl Friend on spring break. Married at 22 & My Dad handed me the Keys to a new field tractor and Mom did a Fried Chicken Dinner, We pitched in putting the dishes in the dishwasher. It was a different time back then!

Knowing what I know now I would of started a Heating and AC business. ....

Well, in my case, that would be payday in the Army, but since I was in A.I.T, (advanced individual training), I wasn't allowed off base, and as far as where I was going... South East Asia was waiting behind the curtain. Depressing isn't it?

Just moved to San Diego, had a fake I.D. I'd be going to Hillcrest to a cute little dance bar
because "Little Richard" is performing this weekend!

Well, it's Saturday night, and I just got paid
Fool about my money, don't try to save
My heart says go, go, have a time
'Cause it's Saturday night, and I'm feelin' fine.

I'm gonna rock it up, I'm gonna rip it up
I'm gonna shake it up, gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rock it up, and ball tonight.

Got me a date, and I won't be late
Picked her up in my '88
Shagged on down by the Union Hall
When the joint starts jumpin', I'll have a ball.

I'm gonna rock it up, I'm gonna rip it up
I'm gonna shake it up, gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rock it up, and ball tonight.

Along about ten, I'll be flying high
Walk on out unto the sky
But I don't care if I spend my dough
'Cause tonight I'm gonna be one happy soul.

I'm gonna rock it up, I'm gonna rip it up
I'm gonna shake it up, gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rock it up, and ball tonight.

Let's see. Most of 18, I was in college and engaged. So whatever money I made was either going into my future wedding or to school. I would go to free or cheap campus event with my dorm mates or out with my fiancé if we could meet up.

Just started rotor wing flight school at Ft Wolters, so as hard/bad as I wanted this I probably would have studied harder, flight school came to me as an easy task.

I would have been with my girlfriend until exactly midnight (her curfew). Then off to meet up with my buddies and go to blitzville.
