A Story Behind Jimi Hendrix Star Spangled Banner. Top Story - July 2022.
The stars and planets were in alignment on August 15, 1969. People carried tents, backpacks, coolers, blankets, children, and pets. They pulled wagons. And anything else that could be handy for camping or creating a new civilization. No one was selling tickets. The entrance gates had been torn down.

Pop Music: The Soundtrack to My Childhood
I fell in love with pop music at an early age. My young ears regularly listened appreciatively to chart hits that my parents had illicitly recorded from the radio onto a reel-to-reel tape recorder. These included Sacha Distel’s This Guy’s in Love With You, Chris Montez’s The More I See You and The Green Green Grass of Home by Tom Jones. My real love during those formative years was, however, The Beatles.

I want to hold your hand
Holding hands Some say there never was a time of innocence but I disagree. I grew up in an era when what the Beatles sang about was a reality and boys started out just wanting to hold a girl’s hand. Girls giggled when they saw their friends holding hands with a boy.

The Impact Of The Beatles On American Culture
There is no underestimating the seismic change in the cultural values of the young baby boomer set in America, no better way of understanding the sea change that occurred in American youth in the early and mid-1960s than by examining the impact on American music due to the advent of the Beatles, the most influential rock band of all time.

60 AT 60: The Greatest Rolling Stones Songs
Currently, the Rolling Stones are on their 60th anniversary tour; this is no small feat. While there are many ‘legacy’ acts who still tour regularly, few have done so with the continuing endurance of the Rolling Stones. Where many fail to barely fill a 5,000 seat arena, the Stones are regularly selling out 70,000 seat stadiums.

The Beatles' Greatest Hits
I'm an old fart, a child of the 60s. The photographs from then show the faces of the sexual revolution (the decade BEFORE hepatitis and HIV that, with oral contraceptives, evoked the sexual revolution. (As Austin Powers said, "Only sailors use condoms, baby.") "Fun, Fun, Fun," as the quintessential American 60s children, the Beach Boys, sang. Fashion exploded with colors that took us out of Kansas and into Oz. Peter Max, Andy Warhol, among others, led Pop Art, Op Art, Minimalism, Conceptual Art, and Performance Art. And the music. The music underwent a sea change from across the sea.

Oliver Stone's Fever Dream of the 1960s
The Doors, released in 1991, tells the story of the legendary American rock star Jim Morrison, who fronted The Doors from 1966 to 1971. The movie errs on the side of myth rather than reality, but since Jim Morrison was obsessed with his own mythology this somehow works. If you are looking for a sober account of the late 1960s, rock music, or The Doors in particular, you will not find it here. What you will find is a fantastic performance by Val Kilmer in the lead role and some over-the-top directing in the patented Oliver Stone style of the 1990s.
