I will even omit my customary lame professor humor, about the ncaa tournament, for example. Thats how serious this is. Lets think for a minute, though, about where were situated, what were working on here. In this last third of the course that we started last week, were dealing with the postrevolutionary era. Weve built this idea that something radical and transformative happened to music in the 1960s. Weve worked hard over the course of several weeks to establish those ideas. And we cant leave it, though, just as a kind of baby boomer nostalgia for the days that were. What weve been trying to deal with then, though, is this sense of pervasive disappointment, that the revolution somehow ended in the early 1970s. The popular music became a disappointment, aesthetically, politically. Thats the cliche. We saw plenty of evidence for it. What weve been trying

The dust jacket blurb, it reads he gives the story of the american underground revolutionaries and what it has desperately needed. He has sifted the embers of the conflagration of the counterculture. That is what i want to begin with because this term counterculture has in recent years come to subsume everything that happened in the 1960s, particularly associated with activities on the left, whether baby of political or cultural origin and intent.
