Seriously.
That even a writer at a supposedly conservative site would spew such nostalgic emptiness means we are in bad shape and helps explains the spineless RINO phenomenon.
Garbage in garbage out and the ethos associated with “The 60’s” that he buys in to is garbage, empty at best, liberal leftist in longterm effect.
It’s not about the music, per se, but the ethos surrounding it.
I was a very young kid in the 60s, but I know the 'hippy' minority was simply the part that received the most media attention. The media had been leftist for decades by then and the movement was a tool they used to push their leftwing agenda forward.
The vast majority of 60s youth were very normal, and very conservative by today's standards.
But things did begin accelerating leftward in the late 60s, thats true.
