Well, you did say, “It was THE BEATS ( also stinking COMMIE leftists and dopers), who began the decade plus later (1968) Hippie/dippy, crapola of late '60s!”

Which sounds as if you mean to say the Beats first appeared in 1968.

Of course you know the terms “beat generation” was factually coined in the 1940’s.

Sorry for the confusion.

That’s okay, I DO actually know this stuff and try to post detailed, FACTUAL info. But I’m really attempting to keep most of what I’m posting to just the ‘60s...though admittedly I have strayed a bit into earlier decades. :-)
