A very good audio program on 1968 - 53 min. mp3

Listen to it, maybe some of you young farts will understand us old farts better.

I was 16 then. The drug scene at that time was unknown to me. But it did have a dramatic effect on culture, especially music. And that DID effect me. The divierstiy of music that was popular in 1968 was exceptional and this program portrays much of that.

ahhh, the good old days

...I was a freshman in college in '68 and feeling heady from the newfound freedom and powahhh we seemed to have. I also had friends at Khe Sanh and other places in 'nam. Great, powerful music...it was sort of a revolution.

I was born in '72, and I've always taken quite the interest in this era.
Honestly though, this is more of a stroll down memory lane for those of us "in the know" than a real primer for the "kids".
Any young 'uns want to prove me wrong?

Yeah, I gotta agree. Its toughs to cram a year, especially that one into an hour. The later half of the 60s were unbelievable. I'll never forget the riots after MLK's assassination. Very scary. I never want to see that again.

I didn't mean as a challenge, exactly. More like, can you listen to this as a post 1980 baby and derive ANY sense of the vast change in society that occurred round about then?

It's worth the listen just for the tunes.

I liked the interview with Mountain Girl, myself. Kinda blew me away to actually hear the voice of someone whom I guess I internalized as fictional. Even though I know it was true, his book, it just seemed, "far-out, man" for me to believe it, if that makes any sense.

I've always had an affinity for Neal Cassady (sp?) from that era, as well.

Anyone seen The last time I committed suicide? Fucking great flick!!!
Soundtrack alone makes it worthwhile.
