  • 1969 (Aquarius/5th Dimension) ... 40yrs ago vs. today 2009

    Today, I was reviewing various songs to use as breakpoints for the radio show. I paused during Aquarius by 5th Dimension. The year was 1969. I wondered how things were so I took a peak at unemployment rates, population rates and the average home price. Wow, times have really changed in 2009. Today, we are approaching 10% unemployment in certain areas, have about 30% more people and the average home is 10 times more expensive.




























    Take a look at the song's lyrics ...

    ------------------------------------
    When the moon is in the Seventh House
    And Jupiter aligns with Mars
    Then peace will guide the planets
    And love will steer the stars

    This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
    The age of Aquarius
    Aquarius!
    Aquarius!

    Harmony and understanding
    Sympathy and trust abounding
    No more falsehoods or derisions
    Golden living dreams of visions
    Mystic crystal revalation
    And the mind's true liberation
    Aquarius!
    Aquarius!

    When the moon is in the Seventh House
    And Jupiter aligns with Mars
    Then peace will guide the planets
    And love will steer the stars
    This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
    The age of Aquarius
    Aquarius!
    Aquarius!
    ------------------------------------
    Perhaps we need to add these concepts back into our livelihood:
    1. harmony
    2. understanding
    3. sympathy
    4. trust
    5. peace

    Well we used to call them hippies, treehuggers crazies ...
    Today, they are respected as green leaders, forethinkers, the only few who can solve the
    greed crisis and rebuild trust.

    How times have changed!!

    judging by the numbers, certain experts have expressed the need to devalue the USA currency by 5-10 fold. This would mean a $50,000 annual salary would be $10,000 to $5,000/ year salary.  No ones is going to agree to do this so printing more $$ will create this effect. Sounds pretty scary but it seems a likely path ...

    I wasn't 16 but I was 2.  I am a child of the age of Aquarius plus that's my astronomical sign.
    Needless to say I don't actually remember any of this - or the moon landing, tho my mom always told me I was sitting in front of the TV with them and most of our neighborhood.  My dad had the only color TV on the block.  Yeah, I know, the moon landing was transmitted in b/w.  =)

    Funny you should mention this song.  My niece requires her mom and I to sing and dance along with this song  including the "Let the Sunshine, Let the Sunshine In, the Sunshine In!"  It's a memory of hers and we had to perform it at her 21st birthday last week.  Fun.  

    I was 16 in 69 and I remember the very day the Dow went over 1000.  It used to plod up slowly, then all of a sudden it was at 14,000.  I know the criteria all changed but the economy was so stable in those days.  What a mess.
