Can you name the first five things that come to your mind when you think of the sixties?

1.) - My mom's hippy friends strung out all over the living room floor the night after a party. My first smell of wacky tobbacky. Lol

2.) - Watching Vietnam on the evening news every night at dinner time for 4 years;

3.) - My mother sobbing at the funerals of J.F.K. and Martin Luther King Jr. as it was being broadcast on T.V.;

4.) - Any artist that sang for Motown Records;

5.) - My mothers typical 60's wardrobe, big back comed hair do's and a heavy layer of black eyeliner.

I was a tot, born in the sixties in Canada.
