Awakenings: There's no truer grit than...True Grit (1969) | Human Interest | Scoop.it

"Growing up in the 50s and 60s meant cowboys and Indians, instead of iPhones and iPads! Time was spent outdoors playing the games children should play, enjoying nature and getting dirty. Mud on our faces, dirt in our shoes, soiled shirts and grass-stained jeans...that's what childhood life was all about!

When time was allowed for television, some of the best shows on TV were the Westerns...the shoot 'em ups where the bad guys were shot but always lived to play another 'baddie' in yet another Western movie. NO foul language, NO obscene sex."
