Re: A young couple, stepping on the dreaded lader!
I too have not got into the debate because I can remember what it was like to be 21. I too had long hair smoked like a chimney, drank like a fish, rarely had a hangover, danced naked at Glastonbury etc. Only difference is now I have short hair and can't remember what I did yesterday even when I don't get ratarsed the night before. :P

Re: A young couple, stepping on the dreaded lader!
I read through this entertaining thread and was tempted a couple of times to comment, but then thought back to when I was that age.
I had long hair, smoked, drank till I couldn't remember, played the guitar in a 'rock group', and made a young girl pregnant. Her dad knocked at my door with a shotgun and I got married and became respectable overnight.
Well . . . nearly respectable. I still listen to Bob Marley.

its when on YouTube and I read the comments about how good life was in those years - from youngsters who werent even a twinkle at that time
so much music has stood the passage of time - just a shame that some of those responsible for it didnt

Like many who lived through the sixties I thought I knew it all and was going to change the world....
At twenty one I met my (still after all these years) husband, that had the effect of putting an end to my sometimes misspent youth!
I grew up and realized much to my dismay that I was only a minnow in a large pond of big fish.....I wasn't going to change much and I didn't know nearly as much as I previously imagined I did.
It's much the same story as my friends and other boring old farts on here!

The proof of the pudding is that the baby boomer generation who were teens in the 60s became the most materially obsessed generation of any that preceeded them
What a shame when the aftermath of WWII promised a fairer and brighter future

Roll on sundown, when it's time for my depressant reliever. I just got some from Mercadona.

I would be more worried if they still looked the same as they did in the 60's

perhaps if no one had answered it would have made for a far better day for everyone.
