Welcome to the Unrestricted Sixties!

Welcome to the Unrestricted Sixties. I will use this blog to post links to articles, videos, etc.... I will also be teaching/ facilitating a course on Bob Dylan and the Beatles in the Spring. At least, that's the plan. So.... First class overview 9/18 A discussion of what the sixties meant to us, what we would like to get out of the class! Antecedents of the sixties. What attracts you most to the class? The music, films, literature, politics, revolution, free love, drugs? What turns you off about he sixties? Typical format: look at historical events of the year, pop culture of the year, discussion, break, more discussion, presentation or clips. The schedule is flexible We will focus on the early 60s early on, mid sixties in October, and late sixties in November. There is no hard fast rule that we adhere 100% to the timeline. 9/25 1960, 1961 10/2 1961-2 10/9 1962-63 10/16 1963-64 10/23 1964-65 10/30 no class, Nevada Day Recess 11/6 1965-66 11/13 1966-67 11/20 67-68 11/27 Thankgiving 12/4 68-69 12/11 69-70 and beyond I can't promise that I will update this blog weekly, but it will be here and I will put stuff on here.
