📫 90s & Peace – Weekend Words #045

Powerful reminders for a smarter weekend

It’s the last Saturday in July. Your weekend words are: peace and the 1990s.

“The histories of the history books, the ones that tell of conquests… do not tell the whole story. Cultures of peace have always existed alongside and in contradistinction to the cultures of violence that have mainly predominated.”

— Elise Boulding, Cultures of Peace

Read another quote from Elise in Tuesday’s Idea of the Day: Temporal Exhaustion

“For anyone who knows anything about the jam band scene, the 90s was arguably the golden era. Pioneers like the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers were bigger than ever, even if their band members weren’t in the greatest of shape, while the mid-80s and early 90s gave rise to a new wave of grassroots improvisational rock bands from coast to coast.”

— Neil Ferguson, Glide Magazine
