The Nifty 60's: 25 Photos That Exemplify 'Cultural Decade'

Future's so bright you gotta wear cat-eye sunglasses.

Ahh, the 1960s. An era defined by peace, love, and a big 'ol beehive hairdos. But the swinging '60s are more than just a hippie love fest free for all — just as the photographers tasked with capturing the era on film. John F. Kennedy hit the campaign trail. Marilyn Monroe stunned on the silver screen. Heck, they even sent a cat to space.  

From a gorgeous glimpse at what Woodstock was really (spoiler alert: it involves getting a tab for the price of a fast food burrito) to a young Barack Obama getting ready to go trick-or-treating with his mother, here are 25 photos that capture the fun, free spirit of the 1960s.
