60's exposed me to carrot cake, wholemeal flour, organic food, equality, ecology, the idea of communities working equally to achieve common social goals, that children were valuable in themselves, that relationships should be based on love and respect rather than pre-defined roles, that conscription and notions of war were horrific for a broad spectrum of reasons, that we lived in a world, not just a region, that pictures were worth a thousand words, that words were better than the gun, making love not war was not only an ideal but pratical, and fun too, that we mattered and that we could talk to the past and the future, that drugs, good or bad, were a choice like everything and on and on and on....... I was an kid from the country who came to the big bad city on the back of country music and fell in love with music (folk) and rode a wave that hasn't stopped since. The '60's were great. They were my times but then, my daughter would say that these times are great 'cos they're her times. And then stop for a minute because of the war in Iraq, the suffering of our people (Australian Aboriginal), the nature of American foreign policy, terrorism, and so on. I would have stopped in the same way because of Vietnam and Cambodia, East Timor, White Australia Policy, Racism and so on........ So it's crap if you wanna think that or it's not if you wanna think that ............. and what am I saying anyway?
