If only George Lucas was still the wunderkind he was when he was making this movie...... Granted, this movie leans on the Black and White Morality trope by pulling a Pleasantville when it states the early 1960's was the best time ever. However, that is no excuse to not point out the music. It is scored by songs played on the radio station Wolfman Jack works at in this movie and such a unique way of using songs to score your movie was rare at the time this came out and only done on films like Easy Rider. Plus, the characters all have futures to think about and two of them will go off to college when their night of fun is over. There's even some stony scenes for stoners to get hooked too. So, there may be something for everyone after all.

I graduated from high school in 1962 and although it was in a small town near Louisville Kentucky the same caricatures, the cruising, the hamburger drive in, it was all in this small town as it was in California.Perhaps the end of a way of life is somehow portrayed in this movie, there is no doubt the country was changing in many ways.If you lived during these times this movie tugs at your heart and perhaps leaves you with that melancholy feeling in your gut.If you did not live in these times you owe it to yourself to watch and learn and perhaps have a little more insight into those gray headed old people you see at the mall, they truly were not born old we had a youth and it was something.A real part of Americas past was smartly preserved in this classic.I never tire of seeing it.
