Well, I actually grew up in the sixties. I feel very lucky, actually, that that was my slice of time that I was dealt. Let's remember that the real motivation in the sixties, and even in the fifties, was the Cold War.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In some ways, the '60s were a reaction to the '50s and the intensity of the Cold War.
When I was a kid, for me, the '60s seemed so far away. But I was actually born in the late '60s.
Most of my memories of the Sixties are ones of optimism, high spirits and confidence.
I like being in the '60s.
I think the Sixties in some ways is a barrier to young people today. They think of it, you know, what we're doing is not that. But it's partly the myth of the Sixties. It always felt embattled and small. It always, almost always, was a small group of people relative to the opposition around.
The '60s were an amazing time.
The '60s are my favorite decade - with the Cold War, the women's movement. And then there's the music, the fashion, the clothes, the hair.
I hate being so nostalgic about the Sixties.
But the whole point of the Sixties was that you had to take people as they were. If you came in with us you left your class, and colour, and religion behind, that was what the Sixties was all about.
If you can remember anything about the sixties, you weren't really there.
