I was born in the early 50s and I got to see The Beatles on Ed Sullivan that changed my whole life. I am thankful that I got to be Exposed to all the wonderful music. From rock and roll to psychedelic There wasn't a better time on Earth for music. I don't listen to a lot of the old Music Anymore Like I Used To but if You WANT your mind to be blown completely away Listen to (Deep Purple sweet child in time) There are so many that I love, Pink Floyd being one of them comfortably numb one of my very very favorites. Led Zeppelin I can't even begin to start.

Not only did these songs remind me of how great the music was back then, it also made me remember all the good times I had during that era as well as the good friends I had back then. At least to some degree. After all, it's been said that if you remember the 60's and 70's, you did them all wrong. Evidently, I did them right. Sadly, those times are gone as are all of the friends I had back then. I have outlived them all. Now, at 75 yrs. old, I have nothing left but memories but I still have the great music to listen to.

I was 12 in 1966 and for about two years this psychedelic music filled my mind (even though I wasn't dropping acid; hell puberty was freaky enough). I loved everything about it, especially how oblique the lyrics could be. For my money, the greatest psychedelic song is "White Room" by Cream
