Pirates! Man Your Women!: So good I had to share!

Woodstock. It defined a generation. At least those that were there tell us it did. As if folk music and nascient rock outshined moonwalks and civil rights. Chad posted over at Pirates! Man Your Women! So good I had to share!

These people tell us that Bob Dylan spoke for the generation, while I personally don’t remember anyone listening to his music. Yoko Ono was a clown whose 15 minutes of fame expired around 1972.

The great majority of baby boomers have spent their lives working, raising families, studying or defending their country while the effete leisure class had time to sit around coffee houses nostalgically looking back on their college antics and imagining them to be defining moments for the rest of us.

It may have defined the liberal awakening but life during that time was about so much more; so much better.
