Well, the summary is out. More music for the times...

Franco,
DeleteBy the mid-SICK-sties we were tobogganing downhill careening at breakneck speeds, and all the loveliness of my young years left never to return except in nostalgic waves of memory.
I must agree -- although, as you know, I enjoy some of the popular music (rock) from 1965-1980 or so.
We'll be fine. Older folks have been bemoaning their bygone "better years" throughout recorded history. Forward progress ALWAYS meets with resistance and the feelings of "loss of a better time".
DeleteDon't worry, be happy!
Every so often, FreeThinke needs to be reminded that nostalgia is not a substitute for critical judgement and if I recall, The Fantasticks opened in the fall of 1960.
DeleteThe late 50's and 60's were a great creative period that represented the freedom FreeThinke is always for. It's a big world. There's room for Ornette Coleman, Bach and Dylan. Unfortunately,under capitalism, good will drive out bad in a search to maximize profit.
... oh by the way FreeThinke, a number of pundits mark he 1958 Monterey Jazz Festival as the start of the 60's.

DeleteI must remove your comments because they violate commenting guidelines here.
Addendum: keep the latrine over at that other blog. You know the one.
DeleteDuck,
DeleteSo say certain pundits -- as an afterthought, probably.
But the reality is that "the Sixties" didn't take hold until much later.
Thank you AOW for some pleasant memories.... yes, when music told us a fine story.
ReplyDeleteBunkerville,
