that will stand repeated viewings
"If you remember the '60's, you weren't there" doesn't count with me, 'cos I was there ( and I do remember! ) and I agree with you with one caveat; the film captures *the very end* of the 1960's like a butterfly in a jar; things definitely got darker as the decade progressed ( music + drugs got heavier, and the Vietnam war, and protests against the war, escalated )

Dannys speech about "end of the decade, there's gonna be a lot of victims, bring out your Dead!" actually has a lot of truth to it
