How much of this period was manufactured as such? We know of the CIA's role in the psychedelic revolution. There are credible claims to the sexual revolution and women's lib being a self-interested Rockefeller & friends ploy for workforce expansion. The absolute failure of the racial liberation movement to improve black American's lot in life despite the expansion of civil liberties is undeniable (increased poverty, crime govt. dependence, the destruction of the black family).
The music industry around then started to be heavily manipulated. Bands like The Doors got big not only because they were a decent band, but because Jim Morrison's dad was a very high-ranking military officer (I believe he was an admiral). I also think part of Jimi Hendrix's fame was dude to him being mixed race and the sort of messages he promoted (sexual degeneracy and drug use). He was a great. He became an icon because of what he represented, not only because of his talent. He was literally managed by an MI5 agent with strong ties to the US government (Michael Jeffery).
