I was 21...a rebel..and very horny... :bandana: i still am today...i never lost that wild boy attitude in myself(ahah)
My birth parents were, oh, 14 and 18. I'm a product of "let's flee to Canada", "what do you mean you are pregnant?", and "but you said you loved me", and an adoption agency. Also called the spring of WTF? I was born, a bit soon, in September 1968.
I was sixteen....in the summer of 2008. Inaugural tests happening at the LHC, what a time to be sixteen! :smoking:
^ Large Hadron Collider? That would be pretty cool I suspect it's a school though and the C stands for Canada.. Same here, my dad was born in 1953. I only really thought about it when Mally posted pics with him and his grandkid.
I was 16 in the roaring 90's. Was heavily into basically finding out the same things hippies did 40 or so years ago. That music festivals are the place to be and art, openminded and out of the box thinking are the greatest way to go forward (or make you snap by overwhelming you ). The more I hear people that were teens in the 60's talk about their music fest and subculture experiences the more I think, even more so in retrospect, that I and many others had a very similar experience in the 90's/early 2000's. New music, new perspectives, new technology, new subcultures, new drugs the youth had it all and most of the adults were clueless at the time in regards to drugs, music and views in and of the subcultures. The world, around us here in the netherlands, seemed great, open and all for the taking.
I was a 7 year old boy with Dreams, Ambitions and Drive for Future Adventures - near 50 years on = Still Young at Heart !
I was 1. But my mother was in her early 40's. I wish I asked her about it, too. She would never have attended ("never trust anyone over 40 "). But she was surprisingly open-minded, for her generation. :guitarist:
Such a pivotal year - it should be our task to 'Keep the Dream alive' - a task which I relish (as difficult as it is some/these days) but ...
