I had noticed by 1971 that the left were using music in their propaganda efforts.

"Folk" music was not getting any traction with youth by the late '60s so the rock & roll was coopted to serve the revolution. I'm sure someone has written at least an essay on it.

Maybe so. My memory isn’t so good.

Remember the great folk-music scare of the fifties? That crap nearly caught on. (Martin Mull and his Fabulous Furniture in Your Living Room)
