Some of it was great music, but looking at the “cultural revolution” of the 1960’s I got to say that it would have been better for Western Civilization had it never been.
I think that revolution gave it its peculiar form (from early days quite sex obsessed) and power. Hypothetically without that, and in fact today with virtually none of its original enemies around to rebel against, it is just so much peppy and boisterous music. Shoot, the “prude” Mike Huckabee plays rock (the group is called Capitol Offense).
