1960s - Time it was, and what a time it was, it was a time of innocence, a time of confidence. Paul Simon, 1968

Growing up in the 1960s was a magical time. Folk singers like Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, Gordon Lightfoot, Harry Chapin, Donovan, Peter, Paul and Mary, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Arlo Guthrie, sang their way through the decade, telling us “The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind, The answer is blowin’ in the wind”, “For the times they are a-changin'”, “For standin’ in your heart is where I want to be and long to be, ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind”. People were fighting for social justice, for freedom. We thought it was the beginning of Aquarius, the beginning of a golden age. It truly was an amazing decade to live through. By the end of the 1960s, though, people were disillusioned and with the assassinations of President Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy, and the Vietnam War, it was no longer a time of innocence.
