The Age of Aquarius

from The Beat Generation

It was 1965 and the summer of revolution was about to be replaced with the summer of love. The ideals passed on by the beat generation started to move away from protesting about the outward issues and started to look inward at ourselves. There was a spiritual revolution happening as the love generation began to take hold. It was the East finally merging with the west, the period of transcendental meditation, LSD, Free Love and the time that Timothy Leary became the new voice of the Beat Generation with his famous words. Turn On. Tune In. And Drop Out Disillusioned with the protest era, artists like Bob Dylan and his message of revolution were being replaced with a much more peaceful way. Tune In to yourself. It was soon to become known as the Age of Aquarius. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
