This ‘60s clip shows kids enjoying rock and roll and adults troubled by this music’s influence on kids.
Teens dance to a transistor radio playing rock and roll at a church choir rehearsal. Square teens find it awful. Choir instructors arrive and make them turn the radio off and stop dancing. Quick jump cuts to a painting of Jesus holding a lamb and surrounded by lambs. Lots of shots of the transistor radio. 1960s teen fashion, from conservative to hippie.
Rock band plays outdoors for a crowd of people; some kids dance. Behind the band is a sign for a Ford Mustang car contest sponsored by KBLA and Don Hartunian Hollywood Ford. This section of the clip may be a dream sequence.
The end of the clip shows, among other things, youth listening to a transistor radio at the local pool.
