I’m feeling old school tonight....

Amazing international influence of the Beatles' haircuts! Great series of personally important music that follows (for my computer) on your link.
For me, it was the best decade that empotionally began back in '57.
As a wannabe photographer, it all came slowly together and then exploded with Swingin' London that may have been wonderful down there, but which whilst not as great elsewhere, nonetheless offered the key of hope, without which nothing ever happens because if people don't believe, they stop - or never even start - trying. The clients existed and so did the willingness to spend, and though certainly seldom altruistically, at least the gigs found funding and got made. Getting old doesn't feel so bad when you realise you had one helluva well-timed run; I don't think it could have been the same for most of us guys today. One thing we can't do is design time.
That said, I'm sure today's photo appetites find another form of fulfilment that escapes me.
