Music that defined the 60's

[10/10 · 2 September 2014]

Wish I could say I was in the USA to be part of this transformation. Paradoxically I was on the other side of these events, in the military in South East Asia. First time I got wind of what was going on is when someone from the world played Disraeli Gears by the Cream. It really put the hook in me.!! When I got back I had to make up for lost time with the Beatles White Album, the Stones Beggars Banquet, ELO, Jethro Tull, etc, etc. There were many great American artists that contributed to the cultural enlightenment of the times but were excluded from this presentation as it was the "British Invasion", not the American invasion imploding on itself. Eventually I found my center and was reminded of it again by Tom Hanks Production here and with Forest Gump. The times were a changin.

Thanks again Tom, it meant a lot to me.
