Of course Steve "Reality Distortion Field" Jobs said "the 60s really happened in the early 70s..."
PS - I hope he gets well, or at least has as little pain as possible.

Did it take that long to regain consciousness [of the standard sort]...? |

The biggest selling style of music sold in the 1960s was easy listening.
So maybe.

I just had an odd realization today.
I stop at my local gas station on a fairly regular basis. They have good coffee. And here's a strange one... really good egg rolls! Always good for a bite on the go.
I also stop there for air for my tires. (The other stations CHARGE you for it!)
So, what I realized today is that I very seldom actually GET GAS when I'm at the gas station.
You might be an Ecomodder if you only ever get gasoline about 20% of the time that you are even AT the gas station!
(And yes, that' in the gas vehicle, not the electric one!)

YKYAEM, when this video, intended to be a prank, reminds you of some fellow EM'ers.
A/C? He doesn't need that. Stereo? he doesn't need that, either.

The funny thing is, we actually don't need most of that stuff.
Probably the cars don't have LRR tyres
