Chelsey Hess Research Seminar 2 April 2015 The 1970s Counter-Culture through the Lyrics of Janis Joplin Today’s music tends to have the main goal of entertaining instead of spreading a message; the music created, performed, and shared during the 1970s carried with it ideas and new ways of thinking. People could not only “jam” to the beats created by singers such as Jimmi Hendrix, The Beatles, and Janis Joplin, but they could also connect and identify with the words that they sang; Songs such as “Let It Be” by the Beatles is a prime example of this type of music. The 1970s brought a decade of national malaise in the United States, as well as a young adult backlash to the teachings of their parents. Young Americans were not only consumed with their own life in high school but also with protesting against the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement, and rejecting the lifestyles that their parents had imbedded in them since birth.

Monterey Pop Festival: Otis Redding / Jimi Hendrix
Der folgende Text erschien zuerst in: Kieler Beiträge zur Filmmusikforschung 5.4, 2010, S. 501 - 505. Er findet sich nun auch im „Archiv der Rockumentaries“ der Zeitschrift Rock and Pop in the Movies: Ein Journal zur Analyse von Rock- und Popmusikfilmen. ZWEI NACHTRÄGE ZUM MONTEREY POP FESTIVAL: OTIS REDDING / JIMI HENDRIX Claus Tieber Rund 20 Jahre nach MONTEREY POP [1] machten D.A. Pennebaker und Chris Hegedus aus dem 1968 gedrehten Material zwei weitere Filme, in deren Mittelpunkt die Auftritte von Otis Redding und Jimi Hendrix stehen. Beide Shows sind vollständig dokumentiert, die Filme dauern 19 (Redding) bzw. 49 Minuten (Hendrix) und werden sowohl aus inhaltlichen wie aus pragmatischen Gründen zumeist gemeinsam gezeigt. Die beiden Shows heben sich aus unterschiedlichen Gründen vom Rest des Festivals ab – und das nicht nur, weil Redding und Hendrix die beiden einzigen afro-amerikanischen Musiker des Festivals waren. Beide Filme sind in der DVD-Box The Complete Monterey Pop Festival der Criterion Collection (Ausg. 167) enthalten (3 DVDs, USA 2002, kein Regional-Code). SHAKE! OTIS AT MONTEREY USA 1989 R: Don A.

From Del Ray to Monterey Pop Festival
Office of Historic Alexandria City of Alexandria, Virginia Out of the Attic From Del Ray to Monterey Pop Festival Alexandria Times, February 11, 2016 Image: The Momas and the Popas. Photo, Office of Historic Alexandria. t the center of Alexandria’s connection to rock and folk music fame was John Phillips. Born in South A Carolina, John and his family lived in Del Ray for much of his childhood. He attended George Washington High School, like Cass Elliot and Jim Morrison, graduating in 1953. He met and then married his high school sweetheart, Susie Adams, with whom he had two children, Jeffrey and Mackenzie, who later became famous in her own right. Phillips and Adams lived in the Belle Haven area after high school, but John left his young family at their Fairfax County home to start a folk music group called the Journeymen in New York City. The new group included lifelong friend and collaborator Philip Bondheim, later known as Scott McKenzie, also from Del Ray. The young men had met through their mothers, who were close friends. While in New York, John’s romantic interests turned elsewhere and he told Susie he would not be returning to her. Soon after, he married his second wife, Michelle Gilliam, who was barely out of her teens. They had one daughter, Chynna, who also gained fame as a singer. Gilliam and Phillips joined two former members of a group called the Mugwumps, Denny Doherty and Cass Elliot to form The Mamas and the Papas in 1965. This photo from that time shows Gilliam and Doherty to the left, Phillips and Elliot to the right, and fellow Alexandrian Bondheim at the center.

Mill Valley Oral History Program a Collaboration Between the Mill Valley Historical Society and the Mill Valley Public Library
Mill Valley Oral History Program A collaboration between the Mill Valley Historical Society and the Mill Valley Public Library David Getz An Oral History Interview Conducted by Debra Schwartz in 2020 © 2020 by the Mill Valley Public Library TITLE: Oral History of David Getz INTERVIEWER: Debra Schwartz DESCRIPTION: Transcript, 60 pages INTERVIEW DATE: January 9, 2020 In this oral history, musician and artist David Getz discusses his life and musical career. Born in New York City in 1940, David grew up in a Jewish family in Brooklyn. David recounts how an interest in Native American cultures originally brought him to the drums and tells the story of how he acquired his first drum kit at the age of 15. David explains that as an adolescent he aspired to be an artist and consequently attended Cooper Union after graduating from high school. David recounts his decision to leave New York in 1960 and drive out to California, where he immediately enrolled at the San Francisco Art Institute and soon after started playing music with fellow artists. David explains how he became the drummer for Big Brother and the Holding Company in 1966 and reminisces about the legendary Monterey Pop Festival they performed at the following year. He shares numerous stories about Janis Joplin and speaks movingly about his grief upon hearing the news of her death. David discusses the various bands he played in after the dissolution of Big Brother and the Holding Company, as well as the many places he performed over the years in Marin County. He concludes his oral history with a discussion of his family: his daughters Alarza and Liz, both of whom are singer- songwriters, and his wife Joan Payne, an actress and singer.

Obviously, these items would be a good gift idea for any occasion year-round, as well as a gift for yourself! We do not include many, if any at all, single CDs in the guide. Most everything contained will be multiple CD sets, DVDs, CD/DVD sets, books and the like. Of course, you can always look though our back issues to see what came out in 2017 (and prior years), but none of us would want to attempt to decide which CDs would be a fitting ad- dition to this guide. As with 2016, the year 2017 was a bit on the lean side as far as reviews go of box sets, books and DVDs - it appears tht the days of mass quantities of boxed sets are over - but we do have some to check out. These are in no particular order in terms of importance or release dates.

Rock & Keyser Roll Final 3.13.21
ROCK and KEYSER ROLL Music In My Life My Life In Music Dedicated to all the venues, bookers, house and stage managers, sound and lighting techs, promoters, publicists, photographers and videographers and roadies who have supported me and the bands I have represented over the past four plus decades.

Juanis Cover lettering Mike Dolgushkin © 2021 Music has always been my passion. As a young guy I remember riding the #37 bus downtown to stop at the record store to pick up the latest albums. From my hometown of Baltimore I listened to WCAO radio Top 40 hits, and watched The Buddy Deane Dance Party every day after school. My early musical heroes were Dion, Paul Anka, Neil Sedaka, Little Eva, Ray Charles, Chubby Checker, Gene Pitney, Roy Orbison, The Four Tops and, Stevie Wonder…. My parents were also music fans. Here are few photos from back in their day…. Debbie Reynolds ?

America's Changing Mirror: How Popular Music Reflects Public
AMERICA’S CHANGING MIRROR: HOW POPULAR MUSIC REFLECTS PUBLIC OPINION DURING WARTIME by Christina Tomlinson Campbell University Faculty Mentor Jaclyn Stanke Campbell University Entertainment is always a national asset. Invaluable in times of peace, it is indispensable in wartime. All those who are working in the entertainment industry are building and maintaining national morale both on the battlefront and on the home front. 1 Franklin D. Roosevelt, June 12, 1943 Whether or not we admit it, societies change in wartime. It is safe to say that after every war in America’s history, society undergoes large changes or embraces new mores, depending on the extent to which war has affected the nation. Some of the “smaller wars” in our history, like the Mexican-American War or the Spanish-American War, have left little traces of change that scarcely venture beyond some territorial adjustments and honorable mentions in our textbooks. Other wars have had profound effects in their aftermath or began as a result of a 1 Telegram to the National Conference of the Entertainment Industry for War Activities, quoted in John Bush Jones, The Songs that Fought the War: Popular Music and the Home Front, 1939-1945 (Lebanon, NH: University Press of New England, 2006), 31. catastrophic event: World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and the current wars in the Middle East. These major conflicts create changes in society that are experienced in the long term, whether expressed in new legislation, changed social customs, or new ways of thinking about government. While some of these large social shifts may be easy to spot, such as the GI Bill or the baby boom phenomenon in the 1940s and 1950s, it is also interesting to consider the changed ways of thinking in modern societies as a result of war and the degree to which information is filtered.

35 Songs About the Vietnam Eraeraera by VVMF
Respond to this post by replying above this line New post on Your Stories. Your Wall. 35 Songs about the Vietnam EraEraEra by VVMF Troops in Vietnam. (Photo/Leroy Lawson) Throughout history, music has covered an array of subjects, such as war and peace. There are songs that are more broadly patriotic and songs that highlight critical problems in our country. During the Vietnam War, we saw music mimic the public's support, disillusionment and then rising disapproval. The Vietnam era set a precedent for music as a public space to reflect perspectives on war, with critical perspectives being acceptable and even popular. Here we take a look at 35 songs about the Vietnam era. 1. "We Gotta Get Outta This Place" – The Animals (1965) - while not explicitly about Vietnam, the song’s themes became a popular anthem with the troops. 2. "Feel Like I'm Fixin To Die Rag" – Country Joe McDonald & The Fish (1965) - Written by a former Navy man, this satirical song became an iconic protest song of the Vietnam era. 3. "Leavin' on a Jet Plane" – Peter, Paul, & Mary (1967) - Not written about the war directly, but it again became a song associated with departure for Vietnam. 4. "War" – Edwin Starr (1970) - A clear anti-war song which rose in popularity at the height of the Vietnam War. 5. "Give Me Love (Peace on Earth)" – George Harrison (1973) - While written about the war in Bangladesh, the song became an anthem of peace at the end of the Vietnam War. 6. "Susan On the West Coast Waiting" - Donovan (1969) - About a young man who is drafted into Vietnam.
