I lived my first six year through the eighties and I can't help but thinking that the nineties were crap too . But the music was nice. Well nog the top 40 music obviously, but there are some great nineties bands I really adore now.

I'd rather not be born 50 years ago since all of the music I like was made either in the 80's, 90's, or 00's.

And to all the people that dream about going back in time so you can listen to the music from the 60's in your teens - twenties think twice. In your younger years you are going to have to grow up with music from the 50's. Do you really want that?

Jazz and blues-wise, yes. But I'm happy with the decade I was born in.

Django Reinhardt, Davis, Coltrane, some Brubeck. I wouldn't mind.
And what about the creation of Ska.

Bebop, hard bop, free jazz, calypso, mento, rockabilly, zydeco, R&B, rock 'n roll, bluegrass, space age pop, lounge music? Sure, sounds nice to me.

How did you have in mind for "space age pop" Joe Meeks or Delia Derbyshire?

I was born in Sweden in 1954. I lived in the USA from 1959 through the first half of 1970. Then I moved back to Sweden.

So I grew up in America during the 1960s. I experienced Beatlemania, the Summer of Love, read about Woodstock in the newspapers (I did not attend the Woodstock festival, but I was aware of it).

I would say that, despite the racism and other ills in America at the time, the culture of the states during the 1960s was *much* healthier than the culture of today.

The baby-boomers did more harm than good with their contemptible, nihilistic "counterculture". America and the rest of the west (including my own current place of residence, Sweden) have gone downhill an awful lot since the 1960s.

Kant has been winning, unfortunately - and the antidote, Ayn Rand, has been largely ignored.
