THE UN-COMFORT ZONE with Robert Wilson

The Reward is in the Eye of the Beholder
 
In the early 1970s I was a young teenager who was completely caught up in the Zeitgeist. I admired the long-haired rebels and radicals who were engaged in protesting the establishment and developing the counter-culture. I didn't really know what any of that meant, but to me it was all about empowering youth and declaring our independence from the adults. My parents in particular.
