No one analyzing America from a balanced perspective can deny any longer that the country has gone collectively insane. Certainly, there are still some rational, intelligent Americans around, but we must face the fact that a large segment of the population is totally nuts. Worse, the ruling class is sociopathic and inherently evil. This untenable […]
The Sixties were a time of great upheaval in America. The decade saw a revolution in fashion, art, and moral attitudes. The biggest revolution by far, though, took place in popular music. Before 1964, pop music in the USA still replicated the style of the previous decade [a notable exception to this rule are The […]
The Beatles revolutionized popular culture in the 60s, and their influence is still being felt today. Music, art, sexuality, hairstyles, clothing styles and attitudes all changed radically because of them.
