Anyone you want to talk about from that era - Timothy Leary, Twiggy, Muhammed Ali, Mailer, JFK, Jackie O, Warhol, whoever. I don't want this to be a "Sixties music" thread, but you can include people like John Lennon who were famous for reasons besides their music if you like.

Search: Anita Pallenberg and Marianne Faithful. 60's icons totally destroyed, chewed up and spat out by their associations with the great satans of 60s rock, who have since been rediscovered and reclaimed and feted in their own rights. Oh yeah.

Pierre is classic becuae of his defense of homosexuals and the fact he was the only one of a handful of canuck politicos w. charisma
I thought the panthers were nasty and calley was evil , but i am v. fond of Ms Davis's reinvention as a academican .

Actually, Trudeau WAS cool, for imposing martial law in 1970. "Just watch me!"

I just spent three weeks working with Simon Dee's step-nephew (wow! tenuous famnily link!) apparently, he's a bit of a wanker.

fourteen years pass...

RIP Patty Duke. I think this will be felt in some quarters more than recent rocker cackings...

Did you know of the tenuous connection between her and the New York Dolls? If not, go ahead and google Quintano School For Young Professionals.
