Something About The Sixties...

There is something about the Sixties that always intrigued me. Something in my brain triggers when that word comes up. It reminds me of flowers, sunshine, drugs, newfound discovery, the age of the end of innocence. I use the word "innocence" loosely here because how does a decade differ in what we know to what we knew back then? Anyway, I am Asian, and my family originated in the South East Asia. No one in my family could tell me about Sixties music in America or Europe, and I doubt rock 'n roll was that much popular in Asian parts of the world back then. I would think it would take months or years, maybe even a decade for that type of music to pop out. I'm sure the Seventies was more popular around the world with anyone who had a television and a radio, and oh yeah, magazines. Also, notice how I said "reminds" me? Yeah, I don't know why, but I say remember and remind a lot when referring to the Sixties. It's like I was there. Everytime I see a picture, listen to a song, or see a form of style originating from the Sixties, it makes me believe I was at a time like that, and I try to grasp that.
Even though you may think by now that I am an expert on everything-Sixties, no I am not. There are still things I do not know enough about, or have an interesting depth to. I am much biased to my favorite bands, like The Beatles. They are my everything. Notice how I try to use them in my every day language and items I use. I can make up Beatles references to everything I see. They have over 250+ songs, and I have listened to each and every one of them. Not every day anymore, but I still listen to them in my brain. "Listen to the Music playing in your head"... (Lady Madonna.) Okay, so on to more generic Sixties and more about me stuff. :)
