the 60's/70's





if I had a choice of where in time to go, I would have to go with the 60's. the times were much different then and I wish they could be similar. the lifestyles, personalities, and of couse the music. im going to stick with the music for now, the who, jimi hendrix, janis joplin, the byrds, todd rundgren, the rolling stones, strawberry alarm clock, bob dylan, frank zappa and the mothers of invention, shall i continue? because i could do this all day...
aswell as the music, their festivals and concerts were amazing; woodstock, 1969, the isle of wight where the who played at 2:00 am, all of the best revolutionary bands and festivals took place in the 60's and late 70's the movements, the viatnam war, all sorts of world changing events, i just wish i could've been there to experience them. ive even been told by family, friends, teachers, that i was born in the wrong time, i wish i couldve been born in the right time so that i could drop acid with todd rundgren, or sit in a crowd af thousands while we all watch the who play, to even see just that, the who play, i would know ive lived. pete townshend, tossing his guitar 10 feet in the air, only to catch it safely before he smashes it over his amp, roger daltry standing there whipping his microphone around, while john entwistle solemnly plays his bass, and in the meantime, the animal keith moon, beating the shit out of his drums as he drunkingly smirks and makes faces to crowd. ive seen videos, but thats way different. everybody thinks they know the sixties, but they dont unless theyve lived 'em. i dont even understand them. i wish i could've lived them.
