Hi all:
Speaking of generations, I recently noted that it's still possible to
obtain the text A Generation in Motion: Popular Music and Culture in the
Sixties by Paul Pichaske (paperback, 1979; available through Amazon as a
special order item). This is a book I discovered in 1980, and since I'd
been a rock and popular music archivist at Northwestern University in the
1970s, it was very timely. Pichaske's book covered the political aspects
of much of the rock of the sixties and that's what endeared me to his
work.
With this in mind, I'd like to ask whether any of you are aware of any
websites that give a similar introduction to the social/political aspects
of sixties music (both protest folk/rock and the changing nature of rock
music over the decade, especially black music influences). The only site I
have from the period is a retrospective of Woodstock:
Please forward your recommendations to me privately at
unless there is sufficient interest from others on the list for a public
posting.
By the way, will the companion website for Sixties-L and the Sixties
Project
(http://lists.village.virginia.edu/sixties/HTML_docs/SIXTIES-L.html) be
having some new resources added? I'll bet there are plenty of goodies for
list members to submit through their own research!
Thanks very kindly,
Scott Kerlin, Ph.D.
