All those pictures brought back a flood of memories for me. Some good. Some not so good. The 60's and 70's....wow...unsettling times for sure. I'm glad we're past some of that. Of course, we keep making more odd memories don't we.
Yep...interesting for sure.

Wow. What a song, what a show. Are we really past that? Or have we just learned to 'hide' it better?

Thank you, Brad. Be well--and peace today.

I loved the movie "Hair"

I would loved to have seen it on stage too.

What an interesting historical overview. The countercultural movement certainly had less of a permanent pacifist impact than it intended. How chilling that the slide show ended with McCain, an old Cold Warrior trying (imho) to take us back to that mindset.

I guess you can tell who's getting my vote.

Okay buddy! Did you have a sip of the secret sauce or something.

Mary said...

Did I ever mention that Berkley was my first college experience and also my first experience at being away from home? Some of the pics brought back memories.

I haven't always been an old fart.

The best part of this was the Romero Britto art. I love his work!

Gin said...

Wow, that really took me back! As tt said, some bad memories and some good. Some anger, some happiness.

Jamie said...

Haven't seen those images for awhile, or heard the music. Thank you. Hugs.

What a way to tie the last 40 years in together.

Good post Brad.

That song really takes me back. It's hard to believe how much has changed since then, some good, some bad..
