Besides, all the iconic bands came up in the Sixties.<br /><br />Also, I appreciate certain subjects that popular consensus shuns or considers "the third rail." I loved reading DESOLATION ROW and highly recommend it. <br /> Rhonda Lanehttp://www.thehorseyset.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011399615565681742.post-54259736132697472032014-07-31T13:49:09.937-04:002014-07-31T13:49:09.937-04:00Hi there, Jenny.

I remain firmly convinced that it is just a matter of time before the Vietnam War era and its aftermath become major--perhaps never as much was World War II since that effected so many more people--but bigger than now. It's a question of demographics. Aging boomers like me will want to--eventually, even the holdouts, I think--revisit their youth. There's already fashion that proves the younger set likes our old hippie styles. That's what boho chic is all about. I just bought a fringed suede purse from Nordstrom's that I could have used in 1970 and been right in style. Tom Brokaw wrote a book on the era called BOOM. Years before I considered using that title for my first manuscript...so I was just a bit ahead of the curve. (That ms remains in my drawer. The second one sold, thank goodness, but it stole a lot from the first.)kkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02296326994943617709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011399615565681742.post-17024428058851550102014-07-31T13:43:49.702-04:002014-07-31T13:43:49.702-04:00Thank you, Terri Ann, and I will keep up the good ...Thank you, Terri Ann, and I will keep up the good work, best I can. I was in the situation you are in--just about--when I began trying to figure out what went wrong after World War I failed to become the "war to end all wars." I was fascinated with the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. Probably that's why I ended up getting degrees in history. <br />Besides, I get awfully tired of the era we live in now, and reading history--either fictionalized or not--lets me escape. I need that. And then, some of it is just plain silly--so put pretty people in pre-twentieth century costumes on the screen, and I WILL watch them, no matter even if the film is bad.kkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02296326994943617709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011399615565681742.post-25346248520683679072014-07-31T12:16:12.339-04:002014-07-31T12:16:12.339-04:00I found this so interesting, Kay, right down how i...I found this so interesting, Kay, right down how it is an unloved era.

I was born in 1964...so I remember that time in a visceral way--a lot of images from the news, feeling uncomfortable--but I didn't really understand any of it. Now I know the political history (sort of), but the actual thoughts and feelings of "real" people--not idealized hippy musicians--that's something I'm looking for. Good luck, and keep up the good work! Teri Anne Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15500524348027951939noreply@blogger.com
