What was it like in the 60's? - Old Stoners Crash Pad - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

high_hopes · 09-21-2006, 06:53 AM

Not 40+ here - 28 to be exact. But I find myself thinking a lot about what the 60's was like - mostly what was the music scene was all about. The best music, IMO, was created in the 60's/70's and I'm just curious what it was like to be around the scene. Beatles, Floyd, Doors, Zeppelin, Marley, etc...

Thanks.

AM radio, cartoons on Saturday, Gunsmoke and Disney on Sundays. Had 3 TV stations ABC, NBC and CBS. That's it and if the weather was good. And every night at 5pm. the war report from Southeast Asia. Racial riots, war protests and the US government killing on both fronts, at home and in Asia. But we won some freedoms that we are loosing now. Women got out of the house, finally.

And if you lived in rural areas like where i grew up the radio stations went off the air between 10 @12p.m.

Damn folks

Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

I do remember the tremendous sense of hope that the 60s produced.

Sam the Sham and the Pharohs, and the Turtles, first concert, before drugs were available to rural prairie lads. Battles of the bands, miniskirts, and red necks calling ya honey if ya had some hair, $1.15 per hr to shovel chicken crap - first time I was fired for not getting my hair cut. And NIKE nuclear missles.

the great bands seemed to just keep on coming . MUCH more diverse music scene than there is now . radio stations and dj's seemed to have much more freedom . it's hard to imagine a station nowadays playing stuff like Goose Creek Symphony, Canned Heat, Janis Joplin, Long John Baldry, etc., etc., etc.
then came disco. not to knock disco, i rather like it now, but back then it was disco or nothing, it seemed . when the Police, Elvis Costello, et al finally broke through the disco barrier it was like a window had been opened in a long dark room.

In So Cal the air was dirty, black and white TV's were the norm, the walls of sensorship were being broken down, the Thai weed, Columbian Gold, and Panama Red were the norm, with alot of commercial shake going around, lots of cows and orange groves as far as the eye could see, very few freeways, sort of innocent and fun.

The opposite of the insanity it is right now!!!
