Introduction
Hi ALL fellow baby boomers! I was born in 1950. Age 19 in 1969 at the height of the counter-culture days. I was here in Wash, D.C. and attended all protests on the mall. It was my generation and I loved everything about it especially the music!
When is your birthday (year optional)?

January 31st

Do your political views reflect the counter-culture?

My political views are pretty much consistent with how I felt in the counter-culture days - I am against the war in Iraq and feel very much that 'power to the people' is more important now than ever!

Were you a part of the counter-culture in the late 60's?

I was totally involved and very anti-establishment to the point that did not want a diamond ring when I got married. I can't say I would feel the same about a diamond ring today - not that I am looking for one!

What is your favorite music?

I love all the classic rock and musicians from the late 60's and early 70's. I feel very nostolgic about music played at Woodstock. I also enjoy music from the 80's and some classical music. My favorite is Chopin's piano music.

Where were you in 1969?

Here in the Washington, DC area, in my first year of college right smack in the middle of the anti-war movement & protests. I got tear-gased protesting the Vietnam war and advocating civil rights by the police (at that time known as 'pigs').
