The real 1960s began on the afternoon of November 22, 1963. It came to seem that Kennedy's murder opened some malign trap door in American culture, and the wild bats flapped out.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Many things happened in the sixties, but the period is no more significant, better, or more 'political' than today. It's time to turn the page.
The '60s was a time of unthinkabilities.
The 1960s were really a life-changing time.
I missed so much of the Swinging Sixties by working. From 1961 to 1969, I got up at 4.30 A.M., a car came for me at 5.30 A.M., and I was taken to our studio at Teddington or Elstree, and we filmed until I got home at 9.30 P.M., five days a week.
People blame the 1960s for just about everything these days, but it was the decade when all that post-war furtiveness and small-mindedness was finally blown open, and opportunity really came knocking.
The '60s was the end of the America that the rest of the world liked.
On our show, I must tell you, it was... the 60s was a period of time when everything was free love. People made love to each other. It was a very open life, you know?
The '60s were an amazing time.
The events of October 1962 are widely hailed as Kennedy's finest hour.
I don't really remember much about the '60s at all. You know, 1970 is the first year I remember pretty well.
