Where did the Sixties go?

It's a good question, and one that I have trouble answering. We have a Presidential candidate of an almost Robert Kennedy like stature, one whom the many, many kinds of American liberal are all behind, but we don't seem to have a solid anti-war movement or a populace that cares that they are being bamboozled.

Maybe we won't get those things any time soon, but in the meantime we have the Dutchess and The Duke, perhaps the closest thing we'll ever have to a time machine. The harmonies and mournful guitar folk are just gorgeous and while I'm beginning to tire of walking from my computer over to my turntable to turn the damn record over (if you can, listen to this album on vinyl. It just sounds better on wax, like it belongs there) it's worth the trip every time.
