Things changed fast in the last 4 years of the 60's. 68 & 69 were nothing like the innocent 61 & 62 years were. Back in your day, "cool" was something only Beatniks said, by the end of the 60's, "cool" was something everyone was trying to be.

I agree completely, and I'm so thankful to have grown up a bit earlier. The stuff we did that was way over the limits was fairly innocent by today's standards, and by the time the later 60's hit, I was raising a family and only observed those years as a spectator who was glad not to be participating.
We did say "cool", however, and the only beatniks I ever saw were at coffee houses that we visited as high school students to see what a beatnik looked like. We thought they were very strange, by the way. Surfing had taken hold here in So. Calif., though I wasn't part of that crowd. My question is: What does a kid do next after having simulated sex at a school dance, the real thing on the dance floor? I'm so sad for these kids, they've seen and done it all by the time they hit 20. The girls seem to be emulating porn stars, and the boys apparently expect same. Maybe, with luck, the next rebellion will have to be to go conservative.
