Sounds like we are cut from the same cloth, Silver Springs! I have been told over and over again by SO many people who know me, that I was born at the wrong time and that I should have come of age in the 60s. I love the music, the art, the causes, the clothes, etc. I visited San Fransisco for a week on vacation, and I certainly felt at home there. I did the whole Haight/Ashbury thing, saw a show at the Fillmore, went to Golden Gate Park and the Panhandle, went to all the places that the rock band hung out and lived, etc. It was really awesome. I wish I could have lived it back then about circa 1965-1966.
