Nobody from the 60's remembers the 60's.

If you can remember the 60's, you weren't "there".

I graduated high school in 1961 in Dumas, Texas. I remember it well, we had heard rumors of a dangerous drug called reefer, but I don't think anyone in town had ever seen any until about 1965. By then I had been in the US Navy for 2 years and had 2 more to do. I remember my ship got to recover one of the Gemani capsules, pretty interesting. We had tapes sent to us by mail and got to listen to the latest hits (about 3 months late). When MLK got shot the black guys aboard ship started acting kind of mean and sullen. Whatever turbulance that was happening in the USA didn't really affect us for the most part. I do remember being disrespected by some college types in Virginia Beach, but we got that worked out. It did seem to be hard to catch a ride while hitchhiking in my uniform when I went home on leave. It got easier the closer I got to Texas.
Hope that helps you.
