the 60s

So, is that why people are so interested in the '60s? When I was a kid, all I knew was it when everything was crazy and there were hippies and lots of drugs. Now, it seems like that's when everything changed, like things were beginning to change at the beginning of the decade, and they were completely transformed by the end. I just finished listening to Vanilla Fudge's take on "Keep Me Hanging On" from '67 and then Bobby Darin's "Dream Lover," written the year before the decade began. Interesting. I want to say things change so fast, but where we are musically now is completely different from where we were 7 years ago, too. But is it that different? Of course, things must have been changing for years and years leading up to the '60s, and maybe greater change actually happened before (or after) it, but it sure seems incredible right now.
