eneCan anyone tell me about the Generation Gap of the 60s? What was the genesis of it, were there any expressions of it in music or film, did any adults (over 30 in the 60s say) become "Hippies"--Were there any notable Anti-War activists over 40 in the 60s?

Are there any articles from the period wirrten by those over 40 on the younger generationn or the hippies or rock n' roll? Specifically any articles decrying the Hippies, Anti-War movement and Rock N' Roll? Did any older movie stars or musicians of the period say anything against Rock in the 60s? Say like Frank Sinatra or any of them>

  In other words, bloody communists...

  It's not an article but a book, excerpts from which can be read here.  Unfortunatlely it's not on Kindle yet.  You were probably expecting replies from older folks...
