Sorry. My bad habit is playing "what about/yes, but..."
I understand what you are saying and I sympathize. (Grok?Whatever...).
I was whistling Monkees' music this morning....

MayB, I am remembering old times a lot recently. I think that I shall die
soon and want to come to terms with my youthful madness, before the big one hits my chest and knocks me down. Made you feel young, huh? Your ARE young!!

maj, I don't care if they helped them to mainline heroin, I just loved
their music. Like Jimi Hendrix, when his Foxy Lady came out and his guitar playing took over my mind, I didn't care that he could hardly stand up.......I just liked his music.
If it weren't for the mic stand, many artistes wouldn't have made it standing up through a whole show...........Soors one case in point.
But, we can select music here and there, but the reality of the 60s was, that before it bacame just taking drugs to get stoned and do nothing at all, it was about taking drugs as a form of communication of opening up minds, etc. The whole idea was shamanic in a silly naive old way. We were to go to another level of consciousness, feel one another's souls, touch one another's minds and hearts and function as one universe of love. Sure, that was the idea.
I felt that love and oneness and then did drugs and turned into and 60's free spirit, which today I have renamed slut, but back then I was free if they had the spirit. No wonder Sammy Davis Junior wore Nehru jackets and all that, he was looking for free spirits, like his other old friends. Things may have pure beginnings but that purity lasts only about seven seconds and then the vultures and sharks and idiots arrive and the impure begins. Sigh. I hang onto the purity of that short period...........in my mind and miss it.

Ricky Martin's coming back...
I go to Dimple Records and clean out their oldies.
And remember, they used to pay the Mamas and the Papas partly with hard dope, according to the late Mr. Phillips.
(Don't forget The Doors...o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o...).
