I often joke about being born in the wrong decade – plus/minus 50-60 years ago would have been good! Back when you could pour yourself a drink at 9 o’clock, when the Campari was a bit more bitter, when you experienced the Porsche 911 for the first time and the music was simply in another league. So many of my interests draw strings backward to a bygone time, where style was better, design icons were created, landmark achievements that we still refer to, books written, movies released, etc. Now, I am not a particularly superstitious man, but I still can’t help noticing the peculiarity of one year constantly reappearing. During my numerous deep dives into even more numerous topics, one year seems to always pop up, again and again; and as you have probably already guessed, the year is 1969. — “1969, A Good Year” words and photo by @afathersleisurehours — ➡️ Click on the link in bio to read the full article. #gentscafe
