“I wished I lived in the day's of around the 50's, when everyone had class, the men would walk round and wear a suit every day, they would have manners, every man would be brought up to be a true gentleman, the women would wear dresses, they would have confidence in themselves, every one would have that style about them, and have a sort of pinash,The men and the women would commit to one person, they would marry, and stick by their family, they wouldn't sleep around, they would only love their husband or their wife, not just have a kid, then leave, they would fight through the rough time's together. The days when music was actual music, with meaning behind the lyric's, not just a noise, everyone would have a sophisticated dance, and take in the song. Where have these day's gone? I wish I could of lived in them day's. Everything has changed so much, there is no such thing as class and style these day's.”
