POST A BRIEF SOMETHING FROM SOMEWHERE....
An excerpt from "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" By the late Hunter S. Thompson,
"There was no point in fighting-on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave...So now less than five years later,you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark-that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back."
I feel this excerpt is true in its artistic goal in describing the movements and rebellions of the 60s in terms of a wave. Even with all its power and momentum, it still broke. What I appreciate most about it is its almost somber tone, as if it were describing an old friend who died, and this is looking back on the good times. It is nostalgic and it is a wonderful metaphor.
