That the sixties were a lot weirder than they are in our imagination?

Then I grew weary of them and moved out of town. Out of town was okay. The farmers, the plumbers, the masons, the guys who stopped after work for a beer, they were all okay, and seemed unaffected by the 60's.

They were much smarter, much happier, than the people who got deep into the 60's culture. The music, most of it, was pretty good. The rest of it - meh.; September 13, 2011 at 9:22 PM

Only the late 60s are the 60s.

The rest of the 60s are an extension of the 50s (Kennedy Admin) or LBJ's halcyon days ('64 & '65, and maybe '66).

And, yes, the 60s were very weird.

The students were revolting, doncha know?; September 15, 2011 at 12:10 PM
