If that's what you frequently associate with the 60's you should go
check out the Billboard top 10 lists and see what you find. Remember
that groups like the Monkees, Herman's Hermits, Gerry and The
Pacemakers, The Supremes, Ray Charles, Paul Rever and the Raiders,
Sonny&Cher, the Beach Boys, etc. had no mention even vaguely to drug
use.
