Despite a time zone mix-up that led to our interview with Michael Caine, occurring an hour early – at least Mike had a chance to swallow the mouthful of lunch he was scarfing down when he answered the early call – Caine discussed not only his recollections of the 1960s but how his generation’s unique spirit continues to shape the world and the very way we think about aging itself.

Michael Caine, serves as narrator and co-producer of the new documentary My Generation, an exploration of the music, fashion, rebellion, free love and hippie haze of the 1960s.
