The backseat produced the sexual revolution.

Summary

This quote suggests that the advent of automobiles and specifically the increased privacy provided by a car's backseat played a significant role in the sexual revolution. Before automobiles became popular, couples had limited privacy and were constrained by societal norms. However, the backseat of a car provided a mobile space where couples could engage in intimate activities away from public scrutiny. This newfound freedom allowed for a more open exploration of sexual relationships and desires, ultimately contributing to the broader social and cultural changes of the sexual revolution.

I think of you oftenand make no outward show,But what it means to lose you, no one will ever knowYou wished no one farewell, not even said good-bye,You were gone before I knew it,and only God knows why.You are not forgottennor will you ever be,As long as life and memories last, I will remember thee.To some you may be forgotten, to others a part of the past,But to me who loved you dearly, your memories will always last.Nothing can be more beautifulthan the memories I have of you.To me, you were someone special,God must have thought so too!If tears could build a staircase and memories a lane,I would walk all the way to Heaven,and bring you back again.
