Such great songs during the viet nam era. Now during the iraq war all we have is "This beat is sick. I wanna take a ride on your disco stick." I miss the days when people used to care.
FYI - the 'blowing in the wind' version you used is actually a cover done by Marianne Faithful. The origional, sung in the '60s was sung by Bob Dylan.
Great work - provides a nice overview of the period and demonstrates how closely linked music was to some of the civil rights/lib. movements.
...I know, I was just trying to scare people ;P. Your class score, however, can go down if this video is stolen because turining it in as original work is in violation of most school's honor codes...WHICH IS BAD!!!
The psychedelic and counterculture movements (influenced by drugs) were the main turning points. The Change of Perspective brought about by its use caused a heightened awareness (and cynicism) of the youth of the nation towards the government. And even though Monterey Pop concert introduced the greats of the era, it did not fully show the spirit of the decade as Woodstock did. (If that actually just made any sense)
(P.S. See my profile for the end of my justification of my humble project)
Actually the counterculture movement resulted in drugs as a form of protest, not he other way around. the war brought about the counterculture movement (well, it was the main reason..
good with Kennedy though- that was a major event and really changed people's outlooks.
If i was grading this, I would give it a C on presentation and a A- on content. you lose points for only having one Beatles song and no serious folk (Dylan is as good as you get, but where's John Prine or Pete Seeger?)
I agree that folk songs and the Beatles are impotant, but i was already over time and my presentation and i tried to focus more on lyrics than artsists. (btw: "Blowing in the Wind" "Both Sides Now" "We Shall Overcome" still count as folk songs and "Give Peace a Chance" is kinda sorta Beatles...)
If you had a time limit, less songs would have been better. And Both sides now isn't the type of folk that matters here. We Shall overcome is a good selection though, but overused. There are much better songs that were used in the movement that would communicate the point much better.
Though I would say that these are all pretty minor points.
You hit on most. I would certainly have Revolution by the beatles, Sam Stone by John Prine (there are vids on here) And "When I grow up to be a man" by the beach boys for contrast in style, For what it's worth (Stop children hat's that sound)
Fortunate son is another.... and throw in waist dep in the big muddy.
Presentation: the big thing is that it's too short for that many songs. When my history teacher went through this in class, it took an hour with perhaps twice as many songs. This is too short to get the sense of many of those songs- many of them are Dependant on the lyrics, and those should get a lot of exposure.
I tottaly agree, but i had a handout that went through and discuseed each song, but I thought that here the gist could be gotten with just the songs (This was used in a class?)
The turning point in music was the monatary pop festival. Not JFK. After monatery pop, a very sudden and dramatic shift in music occured. That festival alone was the "introduction" of Hendrix, Joplin, Grateful Dead, The Who, and Otis Redding. But really it was the counterculture in general that changed music.
BTW, points off for not having a doors song, only having one beatles song (3 is a minimum for a band of this influence), and the pink floyd song. 1979 is a decade off!
1969.. the britain refused to popularize it before the astronauts were sucessfully retuned to earth...it really put bowie on edge during that time to see if they would play it...

Some songs may have appeared on albums before they hit the charts, as singles, in the early 70s.

Enjoyable, but I have an objection: you've included more than a few songs that weren't from the 60's!
