For people who don't "get " it.

Monterey Pop Festival was 1967. Woodstock was August 1969. The Viet Nam war was raging. Everyone knew someone who's family members were coming home in body bags.

The Beat(niks) coffee house singer songwriters (folk singers) were emerging with the songs and the anthems of the Hippies, and the peace and love era was in full swing. The Summer of Love in San Francisco was 1967. Kent State was in 1970.

The country was torn apart by those for and those against the war.

And some of the greatest music was being performed by some of the best musicians in any era.

And birth control (the Pill) was readily available.
