Hooray for the Sixties!
A large middle class who were raised during an era of relative peace and prosperity gave rise to:
The Best Popular Music Ever
The Civil Rights Movement
The modern Women’s Liberation Movement
The Environmental Movement
The modern Anti-War Movement
The Rejection of Western Colonialism
The Natural Foods Movement
The Vote for Young Adults
Science for Science’s Sake — the Race to the Moon
And now, fifty-year-old rock bands are still touring, eighteen-year-olds are casting their votes, and we did get to the moon.
The rest are still works in progress. We still “Can’t get no satisfaction.”
But “Peace, I swear it’s not too late.”
So let’s not stop now!
