“. . . cultural zenith akin to the great renaissance period confined to about seven short years from Bob Dylan’s The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan in 1963 to Woodstock in 1969. ‘
I enjoyed the hell out the ‘60’s, but “great renaissance period”? - give me a break - there’s a lot to be said for music that’s fun and readily-available weed, but that’s a far cry from an intellectual zenith, and typical of a counter-culture that took itself way too seriously.
The crap that we are dealing with today (socialism, woke culture, freeloaders, welfare state) all emanated from the “enlightened” renaissance period that was the 60s.
It was a magical period but the detritus from that era is toxic.
