In The 1960’s Ladies Didn’t Have Tattoos, Nose Rings, Purple Hair… What A Wonderful Time!
Being the decade in which I “came of age,” I just had to weigh in:
Race riots, assassinations, a massive expansion of the welfare state, the drug “culture,” the New Left, a no-win war in Vietnam, the brink of nuclear war, the collapse of the Yankees Dynasty—not so wonderful. I’ll take Tattoos, Nose Rings, and Purple Hair (I actually like purple hair, and my wife, 2 daughters, and granddaughter have tattoos.)
Of course, there were a few silver linings—the end of Jim Crow, the rising influence of pro-Capitalist free market thinkers like Milton Friedman, Ayn Rand, Frederick Hayek, and Ludwig von Mises, and of course the Golden Oldies music.
