h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I was born in 1951.

As the Entry already shows; it was very special, the 60's.

Romantic, surrealistic, psychedelic, experimental, anti-establishment.

Everyting was debated.

I lived in a Van in the street with my dog Astrid.


But the 60's also had their dark sides;

Heavy drugaddiction, vain and spoiled middle-class peoples dominated all of society, all kinds of small criminality had found its way to make it possible "to survive", academic education had lost a lot of content,etc. etc.
A whole generation refused to grow up. It was a statement.

Everything had a political meaning.


I joined; but have very mixed feelings about the 60's.

And its very well, we live in different times now, although unthinkable without the influence of the 60's revolution.

Yes it was ... interesting. The Chinese have a saying, "May You Live in Interesting Times". They consider it a curse.

chinese sayings are too good but it is really enjoyable to live in interesting times back in 60s only we make our lives complex in modern times

One of the most interseting things these days is, that for the younger generation the world has become a global village and they have a huge cultural baggage because of television and internet.

They can mix it in the way they want it to mix.

Rectification;
