Yeah, the Sixties, its avant-garde are the Elders of today. And did
they fuck-it up for those coming after, man. effectively the
liberation of the Sixties opened the door for the Far Right. The drug
trade, the art market, the arms trade, I don't want to think about the
rest right now. They wanted the ultimate short-cut to transcendent
salvation, so we have Facebook, gang-culture, money money. Stephen
Hawking looking for the Ultimate in his machine blah blah.
The tossers, they had a real chance and they blew it for their own
gratification. We're in the future they threw away now.
