The Sixties

  • The-sixties_large

The Sixties exists as a montage for those of us who came a decade or two too late. Cue the sex and politics, the pop music and its hysteria, the here-there-everywhere impulse for revolution. Tonight's program goes deeper, transporting attendees to the Decade of Tumult through its inimitable literature. The words of still-hep talents like James Baldwin, Norman Mailer, and confessional poet Robert Lowell come to life through the performances of host Isaiah Sheffer and friends. The hum-along music of the time and an excerpt from Joan Didion's phenomenal essay "The White Album" complete the throwback.
