Whether you're a history enthusiast or someone curious about this iconic era; my blog provides a deep dive into the decade's lasting impact on society today.
Of course, many historical eras are memorable, but of those; the 1960's are getting the most buzz and recognition. As for me, it is no different. In fact, I think the 1960's are the most memorable era in American History.
As a brief overview, I see many things that validate it as being unique; to include:
1. The songs we know as being popular during the era presented a subliminal message.
2. Many events had political overtones that related to racial unrest.
3. The war in Viet Nam lingered for years; which eventually became controversial more than people expected.
4. My "doings" included a full range of 'going from a kid fresh from a rural area to life in what we thought was a 'small city'.
5. The era continues to be spoken as "sure, I remember it" to some and "tell me about it" to others.
Having lived through it all, I give my opinion on the songs of the 60's! Now, as I hear them, I have a better understanding of what was the meaning of many of the songs that were popular during the 60's. Most specifically, songs were a way to express one's feelings. Some being:
1. Love, boy-girl friend, and dating.
2. Our love of mingling in and about beaches.
3. Cars, whether we sang about their capabilities, such as going fast, racing, or just generally speaking of them.
4. During the mid-60's, we began to hear songs that related to war and our love or hate for it.
5. Our attire was expressed in song, as well.
Each year, beginning with 1960, I give my thoughts on each. My final year presented is 1970. I offer my thinking on how things are changing; to include national and international events, songs, and in general, the thinking of Americans.
