I think It's a bit of a disappointment that a lot of people's Golden Age of music is still the '60s.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The '60s were a time of great change in American music.
The '60s weren't my cup of tea. I never bought that philosophy that, you know, we're all brothers and that'll solve everything. And I never believed that music dictated the times. I always thought it reflected them.
I thought the '60s was the most exciting time and the most vital music, and we were really together as one mind then. Then afterwards, the songs and the bad drugs, that took its toll.
A lot of people think that the music was responsible for a lot of changes in the Sixties, but I think the music came out of it. The music wouldn't have happened without the social changes.
Music was such an important part of everyone's life in the '60s and '70s, but everywhere you played, the music was dreadful.
There are definitely people who are stuck in the '60s and there are definitely people who think I am and it's just not true. I was performing for a long time before the '60s and I'll be doing exciting interesting things for along time to come.
People today are still living off the table scraps of the sixties. They are still being passed around - the music and the ideas.
People say, oh it's a shame, you're not nostalgic about the '60s. Well actually, it's quite good, when you think of it. Wouldn't it be sad if I was sitting here wishing it back?
That's the great thing about music. You can find some '60s pop record and feel completely invigorated by it, even though it's so old.
When it comes to music, we live in a very different world than everyone did in the 1960s and 1970s.
