I Will Take As Many Words As I Want To Write This Story
[b]Saturday Night Oldies with Big Cid- Flower Children, Hippies, Peace Protesters and the Culture of a Rebellious Youth.[/b]
[u][b]Bringing in a Change, Forcing the Old to think New

[i][c=#7700B2]As one who has lived through the 1960’s I know exactly what Jerry Garcia and The Grateful Dead meant when they said ‘”What A Long, strange, trip it’s been.” It was. And I feel sorry for any that never got to experience it. In the US we more of less had organized Anarchy; an oxymoron to be sure but yet the rebellious nature of the nation, namely the youth of it, forced changes that we have today that were very much needed and that would have long gone over looked by the statue quo of society. Challenging that status quo, the “man”, the”Establishment”, was part and parcel of the times.
It was a scary time to live. It was challenging and disturbing, and yet, we embraced that challenge head on,
The pot that was America was about to boil over (and did) and instead of the adults of the nation coming to the rescue to it was the youth of the nation who finally found their voice and had enough and , if change was to come, (as it did) they would usher it in as their parents and grandparents were too complacent to rock the boat.
Many that I talk of were too young to vote- but old enough to did for their country. The flower child, the hippies, the yippies and more COULD affect culture through their music and that voice they found- was hard hitting and it shamed the nation. Thus forcing the nation to look at it ugly head and deal with it.[/c][/i]
