What is bullshit is your not even understanding what the 60's was about. It was the first major existential movement in the history of mankind.

It was a time when the youth and liberals in the country were replacing centuries of primitive ideas like racism,misogyny and prejudice against gays and the Ozzie and Harriet and Horatio Alger nonsense with modern ideas of humanity and justice.

Conservatives thought it was about sex, drugs and rock and roll, but as Dylan said:

"And you say, "What's mine?" and somebody else says, "Well, what is?"
And you say, "Oh my God, am I here all alone?"
But something is happening and you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?…

"the rest of us were reading Herman Hesse" Drop the bullshit. No, "we" weren't. Some people were. The only things we were all doing were sex, drugs, rock and roll, and maybe anti-war protests. "I have heard you say you read comic books in college" I also read Guyton's Textbook of Physiology, The Education of Henry Adams, and, IIRC, something by Ortega and Gasset in the original Spanish.
