| Wake Up Little Susie," reached the top spot on October 14, 1957, though not without stirring controversy in some parts due to lyrics that hinted at teenage sex. Literally banned in Boston at one point, the Everly's' first chart-topper was taken at face value in most parts of the country as an insanely catchy song about two teenagers who have innocently fallen asleep at a movie only to awaken at 4:00 AM in fear of having ruined their good reputations." What was the worst thing you ever did as a teenager? I’m trying to remember and then realised it’s probably best to forget. Well of course I was a teenager in the early sixties and the morals of the time were very different to what they are now. My boyfriend and I were allowed to go on holiday together on the proviso we had separate rooms at the boarding house my parents had booked for us. We borrowed my dad’s car along with so many rules about speeding etc. On that holiday we got very drunk, drove my dad’s car down a flight of steps and slept together. We were like released prisoners going wild. Knowing all that and getting away with it, I dread to think what my own kids got up to. |
