My 60's also ran differently from what the calender years said. Born as annamill recalled, in pain with the trauma of the Kennedy assassination, growing quickly with the first civil rights and antiwar movements, hitting stride with the escalation of the war abroad and drug use at home until reaching full flourish in the 12 month period after the summer of love that included the King and 2nd Kennedy assassinations and the Chicago Democratic Convention, and all the while, fueled by the one essential but constantly changing, unindicted co-conspirator-the Music.

For me, they ended when Nixon left office, the War wound down,I found my 1st gray hair and much of the music began to, well,...suck.
