The '60s! Yikes. That was when Dylan was starting out. The grass was, actually, much greener then (not euphemistically speaking) because there were far fewer chemical contaminants in the water supplies and major watershed areas, and the forests were much larger because the massive urban expansion that has since occurred was yet to really get under way.
Ah, and Jethro Tull was just getting started, as well. Ian Anderson, after whom I'm named, took up the Flute in the early '60s, but the band didn't get any real recognition until the late '60s. They still qualify, I think. I also think I was born in the wrong generation. Music these days makes me sad.

Don't be sad! if you don't like today's music, you should look (and listen!) around some more. There's SO MUCH out there, in every genre, and more that couldn't possibly be put into a genre at all. I bet you'd find something you'd like if you went exploring!
Cheers,

I also like a great deal of the fashions of the 60s, as well.

The thing that makes me appreciate the 60s, is the music and the fashions. There were also the Mods and Rockers in England, back in the decade that grabs my interest. There was music being recorded and performed by The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones, and my personal favourite, The Kinks. Things were probably a little restrictive at the beginning of this particular decade, but I've heard that things got better, as the decade went on. What are your happy memories of this decade? I know that there was a war going on. I'm also interested in hearing from youngsters who idealize the 60s, as well. This thread is reserved for 60s fans.
