“So did the revolution happen or not? “
It’s continuing to happen now, even as we type.
Long live the revolution of the sou!
RIP Marty Balin.
“did the revolution happen or not”
Ask me in 6 years. DJT is leading it now.
Now we have, what? Synth pop and ghetto rap?
Oh please
It hardly began with sixties hippies
Abortion was written into law by Supreme Court member in their 70s in 1973
Progressive politics goes back to the Fabians and then the Franfurters and 1930s socialism in our unions and whatnot
1960s Jewish campus radicals who were actually too old for college but acted as Pied Pipers were the grandchildren of radicals who migrated here with ideas intact.....frequently
Progressivism today is bigger than ever and owns culture
It did not own culture in my youth
“Progressivism today is bigger than ever and owns culture”
Yes.
And it began to successfully enter the broad society with the 60’s youth culture and popular music.
Got to Revolution!
About 1979 I was in Maison Jaussaud’s in Bakersfield sitting at the bar talking to the bartender who was a friend. 3 guys were hanging out against the wall by the bar and eventually they came over to talk to me. Told me they were members of Jefferson Airplane and were driving to LA and decided to stop and hear the band. I didn’t believe them and was giving them a ration of crap. We danced and drank together for awhile and then I left. The next day I looked at a pic of Jefferson Airplane and it was them. lol The drummer, this guy, and another that I don’t remember who he was.
I know you generalize about boomers I’ve seen your posts before
Check out the 1972 election as an example
A majority of boomers of kids were not hippies or radicals
Millions went to Vietnam
In fact it was a small minority thst were lefties
The music and fashion yes it rode the population bubble
The Pill was not a boomer invention and was first distributed to my folks generations
Even today as usual older people vote more conservative than younger boomers included
I am talking about Marty Balin and Jefferson Airplane in this specific instance.
