Janis Joplin - Summertime - the irony of SUMMERTIME is apparent with Janis Joplin's the living is easy set against a half-burned placard welcoming the Democratic National Convention to Mayor Richard Daleys Chicago in August of 1968. Unwelcome were anti-establishment groups like The National Mobilization to End the War in Vietnam (MOBE), SDS, the Black Panthers, and the Yippies who assembled a week-long counter-convention. Widespread violence ensued as protestors were met by a massive force of American troops, National Guard, and Chicago police who, together, were armed with billy-clubs, machine guns, and grenade launchers! SUMMERTIME news footage of the riots shows widespread police brutality that led to hundreds of injuries and arrests among protestors. Janis Joplin sings, no, no, no, don't you cry! A commission on the turmoil called the1968 Democratic National Convention: Mayor Daleys police riot. Federal courtrooms extended the guerrilla theater in Janis Joplin's SUMMERTIME as the Chicago Eight including Black Panther leader Bobby Seale (appearing bound and gagged) and Yippie leaders Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin were tried for conspiracy to incite the violence that took place at the Democratic National Convention. The soulful promise of Janis Joplin in SUMMERTIME's you're gonna rise up singing was realized in draft-resistance and anti-war protests in American cities like New York and in capitals around the world. Among the most sobering of 1960s protest images was the self-immolation of the South Vietnamese monk, Thich Quang Duc.

This is a clip from the DOMINOES Movie that features music by the Rolling Stones, Neil Young, Crosby Stills Nash Young ( CSNY ), Grateful Dead, Santana, B. B. King, Marvin Gaye, Janis Joplin, Van Morrison, Canned Heat, Richie Havens and more. DOMINOES is about the electric, turbulent decade of rock, revolution, and the Vietnam War and focuses on a succession of thirteen evolutionary tableaus, conveying the directors view that one thing leads to another, as in the domino effect where one change or event causes a similar one, which then causes an additional one, and so on in a linear sequence. DOMINOES creation began in 1976, long before the appearance of rock videos. Its composition marked a radical departure in documentary filmmaking, that continued to separate it from other sixties films and videos. Completed in 1989, its release was delayed until summer of 2009, when it acquired dynamic distribution.
