Thread Name: Missing the good times
Subject: BS: Missing the good times
I don't know as I am correct- but I feel like I came along too late (hatched in 1977) for all the good times-
I see the old films of the people in the village in NYC by the fountain, and the hippies in SanFrancisco, the old time gospel singers and itinerant singers in the early days of radio, when the people on the oprey(ies) and the hayride and all, if not as technically perfect, were all spontanious and had alot of fun.
I missed the golden age of Folk revival and the golden age of country by about thirty years I think.
Maybe there is something I am missing and I AM in good times. Am I just a blustering idiot? Is there some mecca for the new set (does my generation have enough gumption to get off its collective ass and DO anything?) Someone please set me straight if I am wrong. This has been bothering me for a while but I saw that post about the village pictures from 1963 and I had to say something. Sorry to be a nuisance.
