The Sixties/Quotes

"''Chinese people were fighting in the park

We tried to help them fight, no one appreciated that

Martin X was mad when they outlawed bell bottoms

Ten years later they were sharing the same cell

I shouted out, "Free the Expo '67"

Till they stepped on my hair, and they told me I was fat''"

- They Might Be Giants, "Purple Toupee"

"''Come gather 'round people wherever you roam

And admit that the waters around you have grown

And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone

If your time to you is worth savin'

Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone

For the times they are a-changin'.''"

- Bob Dylan, "The Times They Are A-Changin'"

"There is a Chinese curse which says "May he live in interesting times." Like it or not, we live in interesting times."

- Robert F. Kennedy, Day of Affirmation speech, 1966
