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...
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
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.
lol ive wondered that myself
mustve been really cool, ohmygeesus id give anything to trip on acid and watch pink floyd live. or jimi. all the good music was form then, it mostly sucks now :(
Why was there a generation gap?Quote:

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.
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.
