Traumatized as in "it's a bad thing"?

Horrible. The music became virtually indistinguishable from the rest of the mid-late 80's pop-rock.

But back to the 60's. The greedsters came in and co-opted the culture, but that's to be expected. Everything will eventually be a beer commercial. Even Richard Dawkins someday.

But still so much has changed. When I think of where we are in terms of racial and gender equality, it's amazing even from the perspective of the 1980s. I'm not saying it's all wonderful, but it's going in the right direction.

My husband said if he hears Rolling Stones "sympathy for the devil" one more time, he's running away!!

when I use to get drunk, I played same songs over and over and apparently this one I played the most, although, I really can't remember.

I've been sober almost 2 yrs. blaaaahh

I swear if I was qualified to join the Marines back in that time, I would have gone. If not for the principle but to stand and fight next to my brothers and die with them. I'd choose that over being a millionaire thousnd times over.

The Green Berets were Army, however.

So anyone who has posted here, wasn't really there I guess.

I wasn't, I was too young.

I was there. Then the '60s and the world went away at the same time. Some of my friends held a funeral for me on New Years Eve, 1969. One person would give a eulogy, and then there was fifteen minutes for rebuttal, then it would start again.
