 Bekah sez:
 
> Same year that Laugh-In came out - my god that was an incredible year -
1968  - from Khe Sahn to the Beatles White Album. I was 20 years old and now
I wonder that we weren't all crazy - maybe we were. 
 
Same age here, and from (compromised, sold-out, settled-for-less) here the
central craziness looks to have been the belief that things -- people --
could and would change much faster than there's any precedent for
believing... at least without Red Guard or Khmer Rouge tactics.
 
We were a big demographic boomer bulge, TIME put us on the cover, and we
thought our own readiness -- at that freeform age -- to turn it all upside
down and let it all hang out was much more widely shared than in fact it
was.
