The 60s will be remembered for The Beatles, Andy Warhol and Me!
Opera stars know that biology is destiny. Sometime in their 50s or early 60s, the powerful, flexible and ultimately mysterious instrument that has been the source of their artistry frays, cracks and disappears.
The models for me were more the folk-rock singers of the '60s and '70s.
I'm not a big crime reader, but I'm reading Michael Connelly's 'The Reversal. ' I'm going back to his novels. I'm also reading Keith Richards' 'Life. ' I'm always fascinated by the transition from the innocent late '60s and early '70s and the youth culture becoming an industry.
I went through bits of the 60s and thought myself a bit of a hippy.
Back then, I, most rockers loved Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis. . . you know in the '60s.
I definitely appreciated '60s music. My uncle and I used to take long road trips to visit my grandmother when I was going to NYU. We'd listen to Petula Clark and other 60's music and sing at the top of our lungs the whole time.
In the 60s, if you wanted to be an actor, you couldn't do just one thing.
I built my [early] career on negative reviews. There was a cultural war going on, the '60s was going on. All the film critics were square. They hated my movies. You could never have that happen today. Critics are way too hip.
In the '60s and '70s, people didn't pay a lot of attention to gangs. I think gangs still existed, but gangs had fallen out of criminological favor.
People get so tired of the '60s.
I was into David Bowie. I attracted long hair and earrings when it was quite a risque thing to do in Dublin. We didn't have the liberation that America and Britain in the '60s but I did always look to England and America, mainly because of the music that came from there.
England in the '60s and the '70s was everything that history has said; it was phenomenally exciting, musically.
I'm thankful for the work that feminists like Gloria Steinem have done. I am a feminist, but the geography for women today is vastly different than it was in the '60s.
When I began writing poems, it was in the late 60s and early 70s when the literary and cultural atmosphere was very much affected by what was going on in the world, which was, in succession, the civil rights movement, the antiwar movement, and the women's movement in the 60s, 70s, and into the early 80s. And all of those things affected me and affected my thinking, particularly the Vietnam War.
I've got personal views on the '60s. You can't have freedom without paying the price for it.
I think that it's more likely that in my 60s and 70s I will be writing poetry rather than fiction.
In the '60s and '70s people were a little bit more naive and trusting and got in people's cars without thinking about it.
In the '60s, when I was growing up, one of the great elements of American culture was the protest song. There were songs about the civil rights movement, the women's rights movement, the antiwar movement. It wasn't just Bob Dylan, it was everybody at the time.
My favorite show from the '60s was 'Combat. ' And maybe 'The Man From U. N. C. L. E. '
