Ah the 60s. The time of free love, Death of Kennedy, and Woodstock. Mainly Woodstock. But of course, what would the 60s be without the irresistible charm of Ken Kessy's one flew over the cuckoo's nest. The book fondly portrays the 60s ideas of everyone being called "mack", The bull goose loony of the mental ward, and who could forget, more free love.
Why were people so odd back then? I'll tell you. In every class or workspace, their is an attention seeker. Someone who will go to crazy limits, just so they can be acknowledged. They will throw their hands in they air and yell, "look at me, I'm the prime minister of Ireland" while they have a bucket on their head. You know those people, the ones who want to be cool and fit in, but just end up looking really odd.
In the century that is the 1900s, the 60s was that person. The 00s had the new century, the 10s had world war 1, the 20s had the great depression, the 30s had Hitler, 40s Casablanca, 50s rock and roll, 70s had disco, 80s had the collapse of the communists, 90s had the Internet. The 60s had a horrible war that we lost, a bunch of hippies, and the assassination of our most handsome president. What a loser.
Look 60s, we know your big plan. It wont work. Just admit you are not the best and we'll like you more.
Oh wait, you can't admit it.
You died when they burned the freak bus.
Huh it seems that when I have to comment your the only one that's written a blog post. But anyway I liked how you broke down the 60s in this blog and showed everyone the 60s and the 1900s but I don't really see how this is a response to your book to me it's just a history report inspired by the back blurb of a book.
ReplyDeletei agree with ames, it wasnt really related to your book much, but i enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteAwesome dude, what was the 60's about anyway. its like the whole country was high and decided to reject its beliefs and change its way. it could have been more related to the book though.
