@TXPatriot2021 The 60s is always interesting to me. I was in high school ten years after it ended so I never knew it, but it was so recent at the time. By the early 1980s, the 60s seemed like another world.

@timr It was another world. But for those of us who graduated high school in 1975, we were impacted greatly.Kind of like how you can imagine that 1965 high school graduates kind of fell into the middle of a huge cultural transition.My generation would give up on the peace, love stuff and embrace the "Me First" 80's with a vengeance.

@TXPatriot2021 I was just a few years later. It seems like the Ford and Carter years were a low-key period of transition.It does seem like we are due for another period of transition. Constant rage and anger gets very old

@timr Those years were horrible. Fortunately I was more interested in partying than getting serious about life.Here is a better version of the song Woodstockhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3MUH8tFZTA

@timr Keep a journal. Your grandkids will need to hear your version of what happened.

@TXPatriot2021 @timr My three older brothers graduated in '72, `75 and `79. I came much later. I grew up with their music. I remember saying to my mom that I felt that I had missed something by not growing up in the `60s. She informed me that things were not always so idyllic in the 1960s. :)

@scottgfx @timr You are correct, but they were also much more scary.What we see now are things concocted by a media who have shown they are compromised.The Jan. 6th issue? Check out when the Black Panthers stormed the California capitol in comparison.https://capitolweekly.net/black-panthers-armed-capitol/The takeaway for the 60's I have is similar to now; a bunch of white liberals drove a narrative.At least the narrative for a while was about change for the good.

@TXPatriot2021 @timr Yes, the violence was one of the things I was alerted to.

@timr @TXPatriot2021 My dad was fairly high up on the totem pole @ the American Baptist Headqusrters in Valley Forge, PA. The church, at that time, financed alot of real estate(mortgages) of churches, schools, low-income housing, etc. I remember him flying to Chicago & DC to examine damages to properties during the 1968 riots.( I was in HS 1968- 1972) Interesting fact - the Southern Baptist and American Baptist Church split due to slavery and did not reunite (Corporate) until the 1990's.

@timr @TXPatriot2021 I'm a GenXer, and we used to make fun of hippies and the 60s all the time. We dressed smart every time we went out. A total disconnect from the 60s.

@Lisa22 @timr @TXPatriot2021 How things were in the 60's depended on where you were living. I graduated high school in "69 when girls couldn't wear slacks or jeans to school. No one looked like a hippy in Nashville at that time, unless you were downtown around the music area. The hippy thing took a while to sink in.

@janis @timr @TXPatriot2021 Yes, that sounds right. I'm in California, where the 60s thing really hit hard. Even at my mountain camp I went to, one time we ran into this topless chick and her boyfriend. Crazy stuff!!
