Horrible. The music became virtually indistinguishable from the rest of the mid-late 80's pop-rock.kiki5711 wrote:Traumatized as in "it's a bad thing"?Robert_S wrote:I'll forever be traumatized by that song (Wild Thing). It was what Sammy Hagar and Eddie Van Halen played at their first public appearance together at Farm Aid 1. What was called Van Halen after that was a sad sad affair IMO.
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.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

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

Tombstone for the 60s "revolution"

The Green Berets were Army, however.kiki5711 wrote:Gawdzilla wrote:I remember Barry Sadler quite well, the song game out about the time a friend of my brother's came home from Vietnam. I attended his funeral while that song went through my head endlessly.
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.

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

Re: The 60s, for those who remember
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.
