    My origional Question was about Orange Sunshine but someone answered. So I just want ot know what it was like back in the 60's and 70's. I have always wished I could invent a time machine and go bakc ther eand just stay for weeks on end maybe live there all together for the rest of my life. I know this seems a littel drastic but I dis-like our world today and how it is. I know it wasn't a bowl of sugar but I still had to be better than this. I know this is all just wishful thinking but we can all dream and wish.

    Peace, Love, Mushrooms, and MUCH GOOD Karma !!!!
    Jay :)

    Nobody in HERE is gonna laugh at you. If they DO, they'll have more than just ME tro deal with.
    I was born in 1961, so, the 60's were pretty innocent for me. But, I had older siblings, and my Favorite cousin in the world. (She got busted at 18 by my folks for drying Banana peels.) That was around '68'. We lived in SoCal then. I remember because I was my brothers Babe magnate at the beach. He wouldn't GO if mom would let him take me! And the MUSIC. Well. What can I say. We all know about that! Even Tiny Tim. Bless his soul. (He was the definition of OCD!)
    The 70's were typical, School days for me. Going to the movies with friends, Hiking trips, groovy stuff like that. Then came High School! Woah! What a rush THAT was.
    Lemme know if you ever DO get that time machine! I'll drive. :D

I dunno all my friends think I am a big weirdo but oh well. I wil ldeffinatly let ya know if I ever do invent a time machine. You are more than welcome to drive !!!

    Much love, paece , and Good Karma.

    I'll take the scenic route to our destination date. With stops in history along the way.
    That way, we really COULD know then, what we know now.
    One such stop off? The falling of the Berlin Wall. That's gonna be a tourist attraction for time travelers! So are some of the Appollo missions.

    "A big weirdo".I wish I had a dollar for every time I've been called that,,,,and worse,LOL.The 60's and early 70's was a strange time my friend.In the early 60's vietnam was really starting to escalate.Hippy movement,phsycedelic music
    protest music/movement,civil rights,etc.Personally,I'm glad its over.One must move on.The times were then,very turbulent for all,I'm talking the whole world.
    It's pretty much the same now in these times,but there is alot missing.I find the lack of protest music kinda sad,as well as the coverage the protesters used to recieve on tv.The cold war is over sorta,but the middle east has taken center stage.The more things change,,,,,the more they stay the same.*sigh*

    Wish you good luck.

    Fantastic at Woodstock was, you could feel the presence of invisible time travelers, who had returned, in order to visit it. You felt the meaning of the event, while it stil was going on.

    May be, he used other words, had to retranslate it from a german source.
