My grandfather bought his house for 40k in 1962. He got payed 27k a year according to him and he “didn’t pay the suckers up top a cent of tax” he said he’s never payed income tax in his life. His house is now worth 3.5 million dollars mostly because of the land but he doesn’t want to sell it because everything on the land other than the house was built by him he told me that one time over the Christmas break he and his friends spent a few weeks drinking beer and adding 3 bedrooms to his house. Why was I born in the wrong time 🤣

That was an OK brief history of American families in the 60s. I was 9 yrs old in 1960 and graduated High School in 1969 so my pre-teen and teen years were in the 60s. It was a lot of fun after the British Invasion of music started in 1964. Music really colored our world. It seemed like a new group or a wicked new song happened every day. When I started High School girls skirts couldn’t be any shorter than 2 finger widths above the knee. Girls couldn’t wear pants to school and boys had to wear collared shirts. By ‘69 things had loosened up a bit. So much happened during the ‘60s, but what I remember clearest was the Vietnam war. Reporters were embedded with the troops and we got nightly body count numbers and horrible visions of fighting and medical emergencies on TV. When the draft came into being, we worried about our boyfriends, brothers and classmates being called up to that horrible war. There is so much more that I remember about that vivid time in my life. I am 70 now and still think about it, especially if I hear music from that time.

Vietnam War was heartbreaking, the hippies were disgusting. We lost friends. Many were injured. But our group of friends supported our guys. Hated the war. Married six years when our only child was born. Stayed home for 7 years and loved being a housewife but feminists basically said we were unfulfilled as women. Yay right. Hold down a paying job and still do everything you did as a housewife. I'm sorry I ever believed that. But I would live those years over if I could. Just make some different decisions.

I have a grandfather. He was in the early 1940's. Clearly he would have been in his late 10's - late 20's. I once asked him. The 1960's era was a period of innocence. It was the decade known for innocence, hipster and groovy movements. Plus the era was known for its clean, positive music and conservative atmosphere. He replied back with his response "it was a amazing period indeed". He had many enjoyable and fun memories. However he vividly remembered the moon landing. Which happened on July 20 1969. He said to me that was his astonishing memory. I agreed with his opinion. The things I said towards him. He agreed with me on everything. It seemed back then society was innocent and happy. Humans had morality they inherited. With mannerisms and lessons everyone learned and taught. Gosh I am jealous of myself. Of being born in the wrong decade. Make me jealous of having. No recollections from the right decade. Nope I got the short end of the stick. I was born on the wrong side. In the wrong era. My era is the 2000's. Specifically my birthday: 19 / January / 2000. I was born in the period 2000's. Nevertheless my grandad lived and reminisced all aspects. Of the nineteen sixties. He gotten luck for himself. 😊😌

The 1960s gave birth to the hippy culture. That gave birth to the drug culture, and the demise of conventional American living. The hippy movement was a branch from the root of Bohemianism, an unconventional lifestyle that was bred in the late 1800s in France by poets, artists actors etc, that saw Romani gypsies camped near where they lived. They led a lifestyle of their own rules, disregarded the expectations put upon society by religions, pillars of the community and by the judgment of where you were in society making you who you were. The artists took the same life but applied it to the manner of self-expression they wanted to contribute to their passion and art. They dubbed it Bohemianism because the gypsies had just left Bohemia. The beat-nicks, hipsters and hippies were all branches from that root. The hippy movement started as a good thing, it was about peace, love, towards all mankind, which made good health, stable mentality, and true spiritualism untainted by demands of religion. Problem all started and follow this because this is where it all turns bad quick, was they learned Native Americans had used peyote to get a spiritual contact, so they started using things like LSD smoking weed and many other mind-altering things. Keep in mind, many of the frugs they used doctors disagreed on whether they were addictive or not, making them illegal. They were not yet made against the law, it was however considered unethical, or as my people and many others put it you have to be "stupid" to take them. By the summer of love as they called it, it was obvious that hippies were nothing more that addicts, and the delusional Prasanna they displayed had become a total menace to conventional everyday society. It was no longer about peace and love, it was about sex, drugs and rock and roll, the saying that destroys America every time a rebel without a cause says it then tries to live it. They put down the war in Nam, would go to airports to picket soldiers that had fought for their country and expected a welcome, instead were cussed, spit on and rebelled by basically over privileged college kids that had become addicts and lost all conciseness with self-discipline. Their reality was made while on a trip and making love in a orgy which was quite common because of their so called "right" to free love. They were known to be stoned and perform these acts right in public parks and other places. They yelled they hated the government, but most of them got assistance, either by free food and health clinics especially, to be treated for ODS, crabs VD and lice. The y hated capitalists, but the better educated hippies that happened to beat their addictions and grow up, went on to be some of the biggest capitalists in the world. The hippies are painted, and the story has been told all wrong, it was rationalized because it was told by the addicts that lived it. It started with peace and love, it ended with the Manson family, a clear truthful representation of where it led because of drugs. The drug culture has created the decline in America, its responsible for almost all violent crime, divorce, unwed mothers, unwanted kids, and they keep making up more and more names for mental illness being created by the use of and mentality of addictions. Kids raised by addicts using or not are using the same mentality. Rationalize reality to fit your narrative, when reality questions it become rebellious and hostile to defend your "right". The 60s destroyed ethics, boundaries, morals and claimed they did it to make a better change. Instead, they created a country of addict mentality, selfish self-absorbed people that think it has to be their way at any cost. Unfortunately, I don't ever see it changing. I was a victim of addiction, I overcome it, 18 years clean now. I am a real Bohemian, I am an artist, and I live unconventionally, don't care about money, praise, material things. The thing the hippies taught us is what NOT to do. Every youngster especially girls want to picture themselves in some floppy hat, in colorful pastels facing the world like in some Facebook meme pushed by BOHO manufactures for wannabe hippies, but I suggest staying in reality. Bohemianism is a way of life, but it's about self-expression, not self-destruction. Don't think if you don't do drugs the addict mentality of the 1960s won't suck you in. It was basically the exact same thing as what`s happening today with abortion, LGBT, and BLM organizations demanding rights. It is liberal ideology. Most hippies were nothing more than over rebellious pampered privileged college kids that just like college kids today want to rule the world without any experience in life. It is known they want a socialist country, but as peaceful as I try to be, I would kill or die before Id allow that to happen. The saying in my time was always live and let live. Thats not happening when small groups are demanding to shove their way of life down other people's throats. But what makes me sick about Americans being stoked on changing their country, well over 80% of them have been hardly out of their home state, and except for the internet still haven't. Put the phones down and relax, get a book, go to the next block if the people on the one you're at won't treat you ok, because there is as much peace out there as chaos, you can find both. If all you keep finding is chaos, maybe you're wanting to, but just don't know yourself well enough to notice. Like I said, rationalization has become the cornerstone of American mentality.....

I'm disappointed you didn't mention the soap opera "Dark Shadows" that was hugely important to my friends and me when I was in the sixth grade. Also the many TV variety shows, "The Ed Sullivan Show" being the most important of at least a dozen others. The many political assassinations had no small effect on the wider populace. Also the space program was very important to us even though we were not directly involved.

The 60's was to the 50's what the 20's were to the 10's and the Edwardian era. The 60's type culture may have come sooner were it not for the Depression and World War ll. The flappers dresses were already shorter and tighter than their moms were. And Jazz music was more hip and lively than Ragtime. Those genres would have escalated further and quicker had it not been for those two decades of setbacks. The children of the flapper moms would have tried to outdo them with their clothing style, and music would have developed further, but the sad economy, lack of money and Hitler's mayhem suspended any of that. And Television may have developed and ended up in people's homes sooner had it not been for technology focusing its' energy on the war effort and children and young adults would have been able to see more of what was really going on in the world. Indeed after the war it was back to conservatism and family morals for a decade or so until the 60's exploded with a new cutting-edge counter culture.

"Divorce rates were low". Yes, do you why"? Courts were very reluctant to give them. Courts were more concerned about the "unity of family", that is keeping the family together for financial reasons. That is, making sure the kids would be taken care of. Even in 1977, when my wife wanted to divorce me, her (and mine) lawyer informed us, it may not happen because her reason wasn't sufficient. "No longer loved him". However (thank God) things were changing and we got "happily divorced".

Never knew Mission Impossoble was geared towards kids. Always thought of it as a more adult-oriented drama. Also, for being a family show, the Dick Van Dyke show sometimes had some racy content; for instance, there was an episode where Dick Van Dyke served in a jury trying a stripper (can’t recall the charges); but there was some innuendo, and it was pretty clear that Rob Petrie (Dick Van Dyke) was flirting with her the whole episode, with the episode ending with effectively a justification of at least implicit marital infidelity. As I recall, there was also an episode that referred to a nude photo of Laura (some characters looked at it in the episode), also. Not quite as squeaky clean of a show as some may think in other words.

All decades culturally don't start on the 0 year. It's more of a transition so the beginning years of the decade is a cascade of the last one
