Joan Baez - Do I just not get it?

Nsgarch,
It took real talent to be a star back then...as opposed to today where 'talent' is defined how much hype you can muster. Oil won't run out in your lifetime, but the price it'll sell for will bring out the best in people..which will be a show in itself.

Sonofun,

I might suggest less coffee & maybe cut your red meat intake in half.

Every time Joan joined Dylan on stage she ruined whatever song they were singing together. Everytime.

Jadem6, that is heavy but true. I especially agree with you that our Government is so concerned about what minority may be offended that the majority no longer have a voice.

Fishboat, I hope by "bring out the best in people" you are referring to the creative use of alternative energy sources?

JD, I'd be happy to chat about architecture. Best if you'll email me separately, I think.

Fishboat - Granted that being a celeb today is just a function of hype, but don't get carried away about the 60's regarding talent- as jadem mentions - Bobby Sherman? How 'bout John Denver? - true talents for sure right? There's plently more where that came from.

The foundations of PC were laid in the 60's. "Everything is beautiful in it's own way, everybody's wonderful, everybody's beautiful, the only reason a person is a loser is because he didn't get all the breaks" and on and on ad nauseum" - it's morphed into what we're seeing today.

How knowing what the generation was about by the year you were born is a fairly absurd way to define the apparent legitimacy of a viewpoint, gee, maybe there's other factors at play NSgarch, like family social structure, education perspectives, peer groups etc. Probably couldn't be right? - guess you have to be an architect to understand sociology eh?

Thanks for your suggestions Fishboat. Hopefully they'll be more useful than your opinions.
