The song

OMG! People in those films look so OLD!

Thank you for sharing this, @FrostyJim. Never saw this before - and the timing is good.

I continue to think that, despite the maligning of the 60s by reactionaries, malignant conservatives and the Right anti-modernist and 21Century proto-fascists, there are still elevant ideas and idealism from the 1960s which I hope will germinate in current and future generations.

Despite Right Wing malice towards that decade, the influence remains: Hippy ideas evolved to the modern environment movement; women's lib evolved to the movement for identity equality; anti-establishment of the 60s evolving to the progressive movement against white privilege. That's why the Right still hate the 60s. They blame it for everything, all the changes to a world that suited them.

The ideals of the 1960s may have been idealistic and even naïve; but we need idealism now more than ever. The Right have spent decades destroying all elements of idealism, and look at what they produced.

Like you, I hoped that more persistent positive things would result from the 60s. I was in grad school at the time.

I saw it on PBS a long time ago when it came out. Honestly, these days with how much things have regressed since the 80s, I find it too depressing to watch or even thing about that much or often, kind of like how I really limit my news intake since even before I was widowed over two years ago. For the last several years, I just have either had too much burden to deal with, when my late wife was living with dementia, or, since her death, I have just felt too alone and without enough support to even think about dealing emotionally with our current national malaise........

When I think of those times nowadays, to me it feels very alien to me as I was much younger then and, like most of my lefty peers from then, had so much hope compared to now about the future, the world, and the US. I'm pretty sure I have that program recorded on an old, now useless, VHS tape. How ironic and appropo......

Looks good. I was born in the 60s. I’m going to watch this soon.

Thanks, FrostyJim. I will look for it on my streaminmg services . Don't have network or cable TV anymore/ By the way, you have a fine looking garden ( looked at your profile.)
