What an amazing time it was - the incredible music, people coming together and really making a difference in many areas. Things seemed so much simpler and I think young people as a group got along better, maybe due to the drugs, lol. We'd be at a concert and you've have every combination: black, white, young, old, straight people and dopeheads all arm in arm, just enjoying the moment. AIDS and herpes didn't exist, or if it did - we didn't know about it. And the drugs....in the long run weren't such a wonderful thing. We all lost people we loved, dear friends and talented people.
People ask me why I hold onto my vinyl collection - omg, there's a story with every one....if those album covers could talk! I should quote about a dozen song lyrics that sum it up here, but basically it was all about feeling - the music, the people, the miracles and the tragedies - it just cut right through you, still does.

I did grow up in that era.
It wasn't the drugs and rock and roll that made it fun. It was the freedom.
The drugs and the rock were symptoms. The reality was we were breaking away from a fairly rigid culture that had grown up just after WWII. A lot of our parents or grandparents had memories of the Depression of the '30's. While we had blown our enemies into oblivion (Germany and Japan) we knew the next war was the end all (USSR and 10,000 nukes).
And so we partied. We celebrated life every chance we got.
All those partiers and ex-hippies seem to have grown up to invade Congress and make sure no future generation enjoys the freedoms we did. They all got very uptight. They all turned into their parents.
What a waste.

Any normal 13 year old sooo toally would not be saying this but yes i soo do! lol Just like the fashion and the music ...and in your case the drugs lol. Also the 80s were pretty kewl. But the 90s were great...plastic cartoon lunch boxes, the urge of saying "NOT" after every sentence, Pokemon, Tamagotchis, The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, "Talk to the hand" enough said. I mean the 90s rocked! lol Oh and cant forget fresh prince of bel air. ha ha

i did it it was not as cool as it is portrayed on telly and in films .sure their were great groups to go and see the beach boys slade the doors joe cocker to name a few but the down side was that not everyone was into sex drugs and rock n roll you had to work pretty dam hard to earn enough money to go and see all those groups .it seemed that it was always somebody someone knew who was always having a wonderful time .

Yep, I totally agree with u, without the drugs. I just think people were more original and more true 2 themselves.
