"In a few words, what is it about?"

We could cut and have it ready to paste the many times every damn day that it's needed on FR.

[MuttTheHoople]

The Sixties sucked:

- Had to be in bed by 8:30 every night.

- My big brothers always picked on me.

- Was FORCED to take a nap.

- Mommy wouldn't let me cross the street without a grownup holding my hand.

- That sorry SOB Lyndon Johnson tried to kill my dad, by sending him off to a faraway country where bad men, who didn't even know what a wonderful guy he was, tried to kill him.

[Jim W N]

The hippies were the serious cultural launch of the end times IMO.

[blueunicorn6]

I know a lot of people don’t like the song.....

“Had a brother who was at Khe Sanh
Fighting the North and the Viet Cong
They’re still there.
He’s all gone.

I’m a long gone daddy in the USA.”

[Jim W N]

Thanks. I might give it a try.

My take FWIW,

- The New Left - The Hippies were the cultural launch of the end times.
- The Great Society - LBJ’s booster-rocket ignition of FDR’s unconstitutional growth of the federal government creating The Dysfunctional Society
- The Civil Rights Movement - More unconstitutional federal interference with individual freedom of choice.
- The Early Space Program: Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo - I like it.
- Paradoxes of the Sexual Revolution - The Women’s Movement is the most destructive of modern-day cultural phenomenons
- The Music of the Sixties - I like it, generally.

[Jim W N]

Me too.

And my mommy wouldn't let me drive my car down the railroad tracks.

1961-1965

Serving in the US Navy, the last two years at a remote radio receiver site. Fronted a rock and roll band that played over the radio at WTID, Norfolk, and WGAI, Elizabeth City, NC. Engaged to a local girl and driving a 1964 Malibu SS. The best years of my life.
