I like to think of the "60's" as the beggining... I think the "60's" happened so that it could influence people and show them what is possible...

The 60's we think of , or any other era so to speak is all created by the media.. Years are just numbers, in my life i havent noticed much difference from the 90's or the 2000's. ITs all the same, the media is what mazkes the difference, and if you dont pay attention to the media, you see it for what it truley is, and i believe the 60's was the spark for the flame, its not over, there are more and more "unplugged" people than ever. We like to think of the Grateful Dead or jimi hendrix as great music, but we forget that during their early years, they were looked at as "strange" (by the masses). This is because the mass of the poeple at the time had just came out of the "50's" Media wise.... And only a small percent of the people during that time actually appreciated the music.. Now in our current "era" Jimi hendrix is recognized as an Icon, and so is jerry garcia, The grateful deads fan base is bigger than it was during the 60's, and they are now not looked at as "strange" but as "great"......

The 60's has not ended , the media just chooses to focus on other things.

I like to think of it as the beginning of the american spiritual awakeking, and its still going on, what do you think this website is for ?
