It was such a simple time -- compared to today, and the music, did we really appreciate it as much then or did it take heavy metal and rap to really give us an appreciation of what we had and have lost.
That's an interesting question. I don't think at the time I appreciated the historic nature of the music being written and performed during the 60s, the era of my musical awakening. I think however I enjoy it more now than I did then. Could that be?
I just know it brings back a lot of warm feelings...... somehow I don't think rap will have the same effect on this generation 30 or 40 years from now. Even hearing songs from the Vietnam War Era make me remember what that music stood for....
Mark Belling expounded on the profound effect the 60's music had on the culture black and white together....unlike the rap and hip hop today.There is an entire generation or two of black men that have no connection to the white man. Not a serene thought.
Can never get enough of the Beatles.
