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.

Postrevolutionary era. Weve built this idea that something radicaand 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 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 to do is to say ok.

High points that i want to call attention to the fact that i have the url where the full presentation may be accessed. The final slide will happen again also. That way you could dwell longer on some of the slides, so i will be going over that lightly. The book came out in the last two years. 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. You find this term being used in many different ways over the course of the historiography. Sometimes as a compound, two words, and sometimes as a single.
