The reason the early 60's were fairly bening for me is probably because I grew up in Indiana, rather than on the coasts. The Heartland always gets trends two or three years after the east and west coasts.

Your descrition of Berkley sounds rather like Bloomington, Indiana in the early 70's. Not fun at all, and I totally agree with you.
