Remember the sixties
They say that if you remember the sixties you weren't really there. Does that mean if you don't remember them you were there? I don't remember them, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't there, because I was 2 in 1968, and therefore though I was there in a technical sense I wasn’t actually THERE. Like, wierd, man. Someone who does remember the sixties is Ken Worpole, who will be talking this Saturday as part of the 1968 and All That celebrations at Conway Hall in London (details here). Ken writes the diary for the May/June issue of New Humanist, all about 1968, Situationism and parks. It's jolly good, and so is the rest of the issue so read it.
