For me, 1968 was a turning point....

The 60's were challenging in many ways and it makes me wonder how they can ever be part of what many my age call the "good old days."

1969 is next…

Do you think if we listened to History it would stop repeating itself?

I was too young to remember 1968. But there was plenty of history to recall. For me, the music stood out. So much classic rock brought and created about the events of the time

There are lessons to be learned…

1968 marked an inflexion point in our country. We had lost MLK & RFK and the wrongful war in Vietnam was about to see its worst days. 1968 became the Sunmer of Love and was followed by Woodstock in 1969 and “The Age of Aquarius” was upon us. These were defining moments in our still nescient Republic and great strides were made in acknowledging civil rights, feeling good about our future as we landed on the moon and the counter-culture placed an indelible stamp on society in the manner how our youth were going to have a greater role in determining that mores were changing and they would be a force to reckon with as we turned the page on a very tumultuous century in our American experiment.

Yes ‘68 was a terrible year - looking back it seemed like it couldn’t get much worse. Boy we ever wrong …. Todays events make ‘68 look like child’s play. Having said that …. I hope for a better future for our children.

The bad news kept coming in 68. RIP David Crosby, he wrote the famous Long Time Gone after RFK death!

I was young in 1968. To me, it's just a challenging year in our history.

My BM year. The summer we moved from Langdale to Glen Oaks. A year I saw no concerts :). A year the Jets began their march to the Super Bowl
