How 60s beat stirred baby boom youth
The first of the baby boomers - the generation now turning 60 - came of age in the 1960s. As part of a BBC series, record producer Joe Boyd looks back at a decade in which music provided the sound track for a social revolution.
A good way to judge the legacy of the 60s is to observe how annoyed some people get when discussing it.
The decade is blamed for undisciplined classrooms, short skirts (and all that they imply) and widespread drug use, but its implications are far more profound.
Racial and sexual equality - and, in England, equality of birth and opportunity - were not widely accepted concepts in 1959.
A quaint and common assumption then was that authorities knew whereof they spoke and should be treated with respect.
The journey from the innocence of the 50s to the revolutionary chaos of 1968 was accompanied by a musical sound track that resonates today like the social and political changes for which it provided the downbeat.

Activism and hedonism
....The music helped to inspire politically aware kids in the streets of Paris, Mexico City, Chicago - and even London.
Governments were forced to re-think how to control their rebellious youth. No more could the Pentagon wage war with an army of unwilling conscripts.
Mexico and France led the way in the violent suppression of student activism while Britain and America's responses were more subtle.
By the early 70s, excess had claimed the lives of many of music's pioneers and a constricted post-Oil-crisis economy had clamped down on the carefree hedonism of the mid-60s.
Today, the world is still having trouble coming to terms with the social and political changes born in the 60s.
In music, we are left with box-sets, reissues and sound-alike tribute bands.
Ponderous heavy-metal guitar solos mock Dylan's night in Newport and Oasis' pallid imitations do their best to sully the legacy of The Beatles.
"Underground" or "revolutionary" music now comes with a corporate sponsor and doesn't even try to lead its followers into the streets to protest government misdeeds.
History is cyclical. Let's hope we don't have to wait too long for the next '60s' decade.
