[LibDemAlways]

2. Music with a conscience - loved it then

love it now. Still relevant. Thanks for posting.

3. Yeah but, Steve Stills ...

still don't look like a shit-kicker!

After all these years, I will bet that he would leave the hat on the kitchen table next time.

4. But Neil is rockin' the sideburns.

7. Neil really took ...

mutton chops to the extreme back then.

5. 1967

amazing pivotal year

i remember feeling so much strength in the sheer numbers of my generation

Those ideals, have been put on the back burner
but, we STILL have the recipe...

peace,

9. We may have the recipe, but the flour has worms in it, the oil

is rancid, and the spices are weak and out of date, unable to bring what they once did to the flavor.

I don't think it will ever be as good as it was then. And I'm not sure what is coming out of the oven in the future is going to be tasty.

Different place now, different and angrier people, without soul, spirit, understanding. It's hard to relate how much that sucks to people now, that there were some great directions the country could have gone then, but chose to go down this one.

11. The media (we called it the press back then) called it the Summer of Love but it was

actually the Year of Riots.

I'm with you. That was the year I really delved into the history of Vietnam, and learned of our awful involvement. I was just a high schooler then, but it really opened my eyes.

6. I saw them in Austin, way back then.

Stills and Young did a 20-minute version of "Blue Bird." Talk about a band that had a lasting impact......

[bayareaboy]

12. I saw them at Monterey Pop

They did the first night and I think the Birds were on next.

8. One of the GREAT songs of the era!

God, I miss those times! Maybe not the times so much as the spirit of the times--when people really could change the world for the better. Stop the war, equal rights, social justice--what it was all about!

10. All that's stopping us now is our lazy, self-serving cynicism

We could vote in a new Congress next year if we only had the will
