The Sixties Revisited


As a teenager during the sixties, I was strongly influenced by the thinking of the counter-culture. Ghandi, Martin Luther King's dream, Bob Dylan, JFK, the Beatles, the Peace Corp, the Viet Nam War, communes and equal rights, Rosa Parks, sputnik and one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind, peace and love. . . all were at the forefront of our minds. It was a world spinning out of control. Little did we know how the shifts in thought would affect the world now fifty years hence.
