Peace man

My 16-year-old came home with his high school yearbook last night. A peace sign was prominent on the cover.
It didn’t surprise me. Throughout Michael’s sophomore year at Lyman Hall High School, I’ve been peppered with questions about hippies, The Doors, Vietnam, JFK, Malcom X, long hair and Woodstock. His iPod library has plenty of rap, but is about 30 or 40 percent Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Jefferson Airplane, The Rolling Stones and other 1960s bands.
Born in 1963, I didn’t experience the '60s the way older baby boomers did. But when I was in high school in the late '70s and early '80s, many aspects of '60s culture remained.
The '60s had its dark side. Illicit drugs became more main stream. Self-indulgence and casual sex became an accepted part of the culture. Cynicism and conspiracy theories became cool.

As a parent, I admit that this fascination with the '60s sometimes amuses me and sometimes worries me.
Is this latest '60s revival a good thing for teens? Let me know what you think?
