I was a young skull full of mush in the 60's, but as immature as I was, even I sensed the "peace love freedom happiness" mantra was an illusion. Then as now everything libs and progs touch turns to đź’©

The dirty stinking hippies of the 60’s became the dirty stinking yuppies of the 80s and begat even dirtier stinkier children

The first half of the 60's was really cool. Styles reflected the late 50's, with men's hats going out of style (due to JFK not wearing one). Women wore tasteful dresses with chic hairstyles. The Kennedys, Rob and Laura Petrie and James Bond are representative of the period.

By the late 60's, the hippie culture ruined the fashionable early 60's look. Men had wide lapels and longer hair with sideburns, women burned their bras and stopped wearing their elegant clothes. It was as if taste and culture were declining.

One of the myths from the 1960s was:

The Beatles are from England.

They were actually from Indianapolis.

I went to kindergarten in 67 and our bus was equipped with an intercom playing music.

I clearly remember listening to Donovans Mellow Yellow and thinking how weird and spooky it was.

I learned to despise Democrats(LBJ), distrust Black culture(Watts riots), like Santana’s music ( I lived in Paramount Ca),and to get the heck out of Cailfornia.
It was failing.

Myth #1. All the girls were hot, wore short-short skirts, and white go-go boots.

Actually, that's no myth at all.
