How was The Beatles & 60's, Senior smokers?

[LazySmoking420]

I blasted two huge bong hits of some dank. 30 Minutes in I shear I was sent back on a 60's trip while listening "Mrs. Robinson" song.

How was the 60's and/or Beatles? What an era of free love, drugs, and rock-n-roll..

All the beatles trippin on acid...

[Cooler Then Jesus]

lol, "they were just as lame as they are now, and always will be."
i asked my dad your question while a typed this and he gave me that answer

[crudemood]

Mrs. Robinson is by Simon and Garfunkel right?
I such a Beatles fan, they're just fucking awesome.

The 60's was not all "peace and love" - there was the draft, Viet Nam war, a huge generation gap, assasinations, riots, and other political/social upheavals.

Although I still like the Beatles and much of the 1960's, I would prefer to have lived during the 1920's, which was the best decade of the 20th Century.

I would really like to get blazed with a vietnam war vet and hear a few stories about the shit they went through war, like say Oliver Stone.

I remember watching the beatles on the Ed Sullivan show,but I was to young to smoke at the time...

The world was the same back then as it is now. The reason the 60's seemd so peaceful is because wars weren't being broadcasted live on TV, there were no security and cameras in public, the world had MUCH less people than it does now. The word seems fucked up now because we all see on TV and in the media the sad things going on. Back then they didn't have the technology to broadcast disasters and TV, but now, that's all people feed on, is tragedy.

Things were just as bad then as they are now. Our folks just didn't have the technology to see the things we do now.

I asked my dad once about life in the 70's. He said people were more laid back. He calls this generation angry and violent...geez, I wonder why. He said they could go to a crowded bar and there would be no fighting. You got to one now in a night, and you're guaranteed to see a fight happen. People are angry these days because of what we are seeing, it's much mopre present now with double the population as it was in the 60's/70's.

[justinsane]

the television, and internet are rotting the minds of millions daily..

those who choose to use things responsibly are the ones that will keep humanity left standing.

im 19, but i feel as though ive lived in the sixties and seventies. maybe a past life, i dunno. but i feel very strongly connected as though ive been there. i saw Crosby Stills Nash and Young a couple months ago, one of the fewer remaining Woodstock bands. it gives your imagination some wild thoughts... but damn anythings better than the society of today, and tomorrow.

THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN'
Bob Dylan

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

Thanks for askin ...

The Beatles were the Ultimate Boy Band ... They later evolved with Sgt Pepper / White Album to produce some good music. They weren't as talented as the rock bands that followed.

The 60's were very turbulent, the closest thing we've had to a civil war since the civil war. It was young against old, police vs kids, long hair vs short hair, peace vs war, radical vs establishment ... parents vs their own kids.

The 60's changed the world forever.
