The music of the 60's both refelcted the problmes and the changes taking place in society. Odl dodgy 1950s values were being challenged, we had the first Roman Catholic and the youngest President ever in the White House. Problems included the Bay of Pigs, the closest ever real nuclear excahnge with the Russians, the the Presdident was murdered, MLK got whacked, Jack's brother Bobby was shot and 58,000 troops were killed in the Veit Nam mess.
The music was one of our escapes,something that we could anchor on daily to try and think things out. Music itself was undergoing changes coming out of early Rock and Roll and slowly going to rock with many infulances such as blues,country. old jazz being used in it. It's a part of my life that I remember both as bad times and with the tunes as good.
