But, since we mostly lived in rented apartments or dorms. most of the wall colors were "landlord beige" or white and we covered them with posters or wall hangings which were mostly either tie-dyed sheets or paisley Indian cotton bedspreads. British, American and peace symbol flags were popular wall decor too. Also large cutouts of giant flowers and rainbows. In one apartment where I was allowed to paint the wall (the University owned the building and was going to tear it down the next year) I painted a mural of the cover of the Yellow Submarine album. In my teen bedroom you could not even see the walls because they were so covered with huge Beatle and Rolling Stone posters and hundreds of Beatles bubble gum cards! (yes, there was such a thing.)<br><b>References : </b><br>old geezer Beatle fan (saw them live in 1965!)
