With the start of a revolutionary reform that was tantamount to an Earth cycle page flip, the Sixties was what the world desperately needed. Anytime Love come to the fore of any cultural movement, it will be a benchmark for humanity and one that can't easily evanesce.
Amazing, cool cats like Steve Jobs and his bud Woz, were well within the regional whirl of hippies, flower power, top-drawer musicians and supergroups and copious amounts of free love. I haven't read their biographies but, that golden era must have formed part of who they are. The empowering of the individual, counter-culturing the American way, freedom for blacks and merit for merit versus pedigree. Style and art over staunch business-veign. The months that filled the years from ''67 to '72 were to send music, art and tech on a trajectory that is still unswerving.

One could mention that there is no serial number required to install any OS on a Mac. Garageband is still the best x easiest app to record music with. This is free software. The generousity and graces of the Sixties are still afloat in our present day.

If you watch an Apple keynote you also get an earful 'cause those cats are cool.
