Things may have started to go south in SF in 1966 but, the rest of the US did not follow right away and some areas did not at all. Long hair was in vogue well into the 80s but, was gone by the time Reagan left office.

Agree (with both Steve and 442) -

My observation is that the whole "50s, 60's, 70's, 80's" decades were actually skewed about 5 years later than normally presented - at least here in the midwest.
