Thats only a small part of the 60s.

Another part included great things like Apollo. Its worth noting
that *twice as many people* came out to see the launch of Apollo
11, as attended Woodstock, a month later.

And, while Woodstock offered three days of events, Apollo 11 offered
a view that would last about five minutes, once the engines lit.

On that basis, its fair to say that the pop image of the 60s,
is the minority one.

Now, I do like a fair amount of the music that came from then.
But, thats another matter.
