Major Project Progress

Recently, I've been focusing more intently upon drug use and the "radical" movements of the sixties. Looking back on my proposal, this strikes two major chords:
  • According to historians, what affect did recreational drug use have on the sixties? How did this affect the way society expressed themselves and ensuing events? Was rampant drug use the driving force behind the revolution of the sixties?
  • Are the sixties correctly memorialised as the era of “sex, drugs and rock and roll” or is this simply a figment of our collective imaginations?
I will continue to focus upon this issue as it provides greater scope for an in-depth analysis of the sixties.

P.S Gerard DeGroot's book arrived today! Very excited to see what he has to say in the portion of the book entitled "sex, drugs and rock and roll" in the Sixties.
