Lisp as an idea or language family was around in the 60s, Common Lisp not so much.

Common Lisp The Language was published in 1984, CLtL2 in 1990, and the ANSI standard in 1994. I believe the hyperspec (which is not the spec) was published in 1996 or so.

CL is neither as ahead of its time or of another, past time as you might think.
