And the sixties still Suck.
Why do you say that? What about the 60s suck?
Politics,music,Viet Nam,loss of legal money,erosion of civil rights,return of the communists,lost the farm, cinema,’literature’,just thankful I survived. Though little has improved since.
Well, I could discuss some of those topics with you, but I don't see the point.
That's not to say that I think the 60s were the greatest period in American history, I don't. IMO, the 60s were a transitional period between the post WW2 lull, and the events that occurred after the 60s.
I do believe that the 60s saw 2 wars, however, not just 1. Vietnam was the war we all recognize because it was in the news so much. What we fail to recognize is that while Vietnam was going on, there was something of a civil war here at home with the various radical groups on college campuses and the demonstrations in many of the bigger cities in America. That was also in the news a lot, but no one (other than me) has called it a civil war.
As for the music, well, my taste differs from yours. I think that the 60s was one of the greatest periods for music. The 30s and 40s brought us the big bands (who I think were also great), then there was the 60s. After that it was pretty much downhill, although, IMO, there were some standout groups in the years that followed the 60s.
It's a potato, potahto kind of thing.
