ello Wavers! Summer has arrived and it’s time to reflect on the
eventful Summer of ‘69. To you young folks out there, that means
Hthe year 1969. What a year it was! Hard to believe that Wood-
stock was 50 years ago and that many of the musicians that performed
there are still going strong today. Who was it that said Rock Music was just
a fad?

I had a random thought the other day while I was riding around in my ol’
scarab. It’s not like me to have many thoughts in a day but here is what had $8.00
me thinking.

Such great music going on in the Summer of ‘69. Jimi Hendrix, Janis Ticket
Joplin, Santana, Creedence Clearwater, Joe Cocker, The Who, The Band,
Canned Heat, Grateful Dead, Sly & the Family Stone, Country Joe & The
Fish, Jefferson Airplane, and so many more.

Your Bum thinks that would have been a great era of which
to have lived and grown up in. But, I was wondering, what
did it cost to live in 1969? What did housing, cars, groceries,
and staples like beer and cigarettes cost back then? Even .12 Cents
though your Waves Bum is pretty lazy, I did do some re- 1lb. Sugar
search and here is what I came up with. Pretty amazing the
cost of living back in 1969.
