A Blow Against the Counterculture — Not

"What a time that was, that will never come again."

I hope it doesn't. Endless war, rioting in the cities, and the constant derision of the emerging counterculture as weird, evil and silly (all at the same time). I'm glad that era is behind us. Older people seized on shows like this as proof the mainstream culture was alive and well, even when it was on life support. The situation seemed hopeless to many of us who lived through it.

I was there to see that. What a time that was, that will never come again.
