It Was A Wonderful Time To Be Young. The 1960s Didn't End Until About 1976. We All Believed In Make Love Not War - We Were Idealistic Innocents, Darling, Despite The Drugs And Sex. We Were Sweet Lovely People Who Wanted To Throw Out All The Staid Institutions Who Placed Money And Wars Above All Else. When You're Young You Think That's How Life Works. None Of Us Were Famous, We Were Broke. We Didn't Think They'd Be Writing Books About Us In 30 Years. We Were Just Kids Doing The Right Thing.
