Did you know Jane Fonder served in Vietnam?
First Keith Richards, now this commie.
The ants are my friends and they're blowin' in the wind...
You oughta rent out The Big T.N.T. show DVD from 1966, with Ray Charles, Bo Diddley, Ike and Tina, Donovan, Lovin Spoonful, the Byrds, which was produced by Phil Spector. This must have been right after Phil lost his biggest money makers the Righteous Brothers to MGM Records (young Mike Curb?), was really peed off about it, and had Joanie screech You've Lost That Loving Feeling on national TV as a revenge. You'll lose your loving feeling for that song and for Baez' "wonderful voice", I guarantee. Oy!
LOL! Thanks...
Anything like this?

There is a book on rock and roll in film. And they cite this movie as evidence of the "change" that forever killed rock and roll.
All of these high energy rock and rollers and then there is Donovan. The kids stop dancing and sit down and WATCH an "important" artist do his songs.
Dylan doesn't seem to be such a big fan of Joan and Donovan in Don't Look Back. People riding on his coattails. And he can be seen looking at an electric guitar (and later when he makes the shift to electric, is called Judas).
I'm sick of these self-important know nothings. They co-opted what was a good thing.
"Punk" was a response to this politically correct downer music. Bands like The New York Dolls, The Dictators, The Flamin' Groovies, The Ramones brought back a vitality to rock and roll that was lost on the Woodstock generation.
And as the folk singers did to rock and roll (after fighting against it as juvenile junk), they co-opted punk and turned it hard left politically.
Yep, it stopped being something that had "good beat and you can dance to it". Legacy of Woodstock. Siddown and lissen!
CSNY geezers (no ampersand in the name any more. I'd luv to have been a fly on the wall when the negotiations over it took place.) The ad for the tour, which I am unable to locate online, is a sight to see. It pictures four badly dressed hippie geezers with guitars, facing each other on some stage, with such passion in their poses and faces, you'd think they were a string quartet performing some late Beethoven sonata.
It should be noted that this Trust for Public Land is often successful and often they use Eminent Domain.
