Book Review: Hal Lifson's 1966 Time Capsule
Summary: 5 Stars
When a time capsule is buried for a future generation to discover, it is generally anticipated this will occur in a thousand years or so. Well Hal Lifson has jumped the gun by about 963 years with his book "1966!". This coffee table-style book is a kind of printed version of a home movie that focuses on Hal's personal favorite year, 1966. With great recall- belying the fact that Hal was only 6 years old that year- he takes us on a fun-filled, sometimes sentimental journey through his early childhood. Whilst thumbing through the pages of "1966!", I couldn't help but be taken back to those halcyon days of the mid-1960s. I am the same age as Hal and so much of his childhood echoes my own. The pages are filled with wonderful photos of 1966 ephemera including food products, toys, household gadgets, and mod clothing that makes the era so destinctive. Also, there are fabulous pictures of many cool items that are a part of Hal's personal collection of 1966 artifacts. When was the last time you laid your eyes on a tube of Prell shampoo? How about that Schwinn Sting Ray you couldn't wait to mount and ride forever? And who could forget the lunch box- those little square metal containers featuring pictures of comic book heroes and T.V. show characters that we used to haul our lunch in to school? These and so much more are vividly pictured in full color on just about every page of "1966!". If you were there in the mid-1960s, and were old enough to participate, you will be overwhelmed with memory flashbacks that are sure to induce you to drag out those old board games or run for the television remote to click on to "T.V. Land" to remember just how good entertainment was in the 1960s. If you are too young to have been a part of the most exciting decade of the 20th century, than "1966!" will serve to clue you in on what you missed. I can say from my own experiences that 1966 was an amazing time to have lived; an era that was culturally stimulating and exciting. No other decade in my life was so special to me as the 1960s. Hal Lifson has succeeded in bringing back an era-if only in the time it takes to leaf through the book-that can never be relived. Thankfully, "1966!" enables us to remember-or to just plain view-and enjoy. In sharing with us his childhood, Hal has managed to give all of us a historically important retro journey to a simpler time. And if while looking back to 1966 through those rose-colored glasses of Mr. Lifsons you find yourself crying "96 Tears", I can assure you they will be tears of joy. Thank you Hal!
