When I was little we lived in Pasadena one block from the Bob’s Big Boy on Colorado Blvd. So many songs were written about cruising or racing or looking at girls on Colorado Blvd.
My older sister was in high school and went to dances at the YMCA where the Beach Boys played before they were famous. You never know what’s going to happen
When I was young (late 80s/early 90s), the US was very much the cartoon-ish propaganda fiction, but there's been enough of truth (left) about freedom, liberty, and the like.
Pop culture was flooded with US-made stuff, not just movies and TV shows, but also MTV (does it still exist?). When I first visited the US in autumn 2006, I recall getting out of the NY subway, if memory serves at Broadway and 72nd St, and I thought: it feels like I've been here before (which I hadn't), but it serves as a powerful reminder of how culture shapes perception.
Good, if increasingly strange--as in: otherworldly--memories, indeed.
