    if nothing else, enjoy the music ! Coming of age in the mid/late 60’s was so..so…hopeful..

    if you want to step into the Way Back Time Machine, CNN did a special on the 60’s last year; I’m sure it’s available on-line somewhere, but here’s a photo montage:

    for you all young-uns … CNN is airing a special on the 70’s on June 11th at 9 pm

    As for the music of my childhood, I’m satisfied with YouTube (home of videos that disappear due to ‘copyright violations’) and the occasional Time-Life late night infomercial on hippie music.
