"What is bullshit is your not even understanding what the 60's was about."

I was too busy being part of it, almost from the beginning, to take time to think about it. While you were reading books, I was going to antiwar rallies as part of a first aid group, and picketing with Teamsters in LA .

>> 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. You are so full of it. In which countries at that time was there NOT prejudice against gays? Explain about the "replacement" of with "modern ideas of humanity and justice". Are you talking about filling the prisons in the Northeast with blacks and brown-skinned individuals? Dylan was not the "voice of a generation". He never wanted to be, he didn't mean to be, he was just doing his thing. Same with Lennon. "Those songs don't mean anything. They never did." -- John Lennon If you want to understand Dylan I recommend you read his autobiography, which explains his life in The Village and his true motivations with songwriting. Aside from being one of the best books you'll ever read you might learn something about the era.
