Groovy, Powerful, and Weird
| New beauty is free. Liberated from hang-ups over form and function, unencumbered by tradition or design. A freaky goddess surveying her . . . realm. Kite high, moon-pure. Groovy, powerful, and weird! . . . Exhibitionism is the quiet side of violence: it aims to provoke. . . No wonder it dominates the fashions of the '60s. . . The same turmoil and insurrection that provides the terror of our times also inspires its greatest achievements. The style of the '60s is creative anarchy. |
From an article by the rock critic Richard Goldstein, American Vogue [1969]
