You guys are awesome! Thanks to everyone for their responses, I'm writing my paper right now...(well I should be at least)

PS: I'm working on getting the shirts out right now!

Paper suggestions

- no typos
- 'Rock on brother' looks best with a period rather than an exclamation point.
- the peace sign is done with straight fingers not bent - unless you are old
- 'Later.' is a whole sentence used with the peace sign following 'Rock on brother.'

Great job!

'Dig.' Is a complete stand alone sentance (God I miss the '60s!)

Where did you live during the Sixties?

Near what used to be a Nazi Bund camp. I actually went out on the junior prom with someone who lived at the former place and she ended up asking the mother if you still had to be German to get a house there like you did when the Nazis ran it. My grandma actually watched the Nazi marches.Here is information about the Bund My dad on the other hand lived on a farm.

How did popular culture, like TV, movies, and music, affect your life in the 1960s?

Dad named me and my brother after the characters in the television show Bonanza. Had no qualms whatsoever and even told the priest when he asked if he was naming me after Adam the religious figure. Then my mother asked to download this song recently. Little Boxes

[KenWittlief]

the best single summary I have heard that covers how most people felt about the anti-war movement in the 60's is Bob Dylans "Masters of War" (you never hear it on the oldies stations, in fact I dont think I have every heard it on the radio at all!)

The song pretty much says it all.

Adam, I wonder if your mom sang Little Boxes for you?
It has a sing song rhythm to it and you just kind of float along - then wham - you 'get it' - Pete Seeger always did that.
60's explored levels - lots of levels, much of it through music.
