Music isn't like news, where it's what happened five minutes ago or even 10 seconds ago that matters. With music, a song from the 1960s could be as relevant to someone today as the latest Ke$ha song.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
That's the great thing about music. You can find some '60s pop record and feel completely invigorated by it, even though it's so old.
I think It's a bit of a disappointment that a lot of people's Golden Age of music is still the '60s.
The '60s were a time of great change in American music.
As society changes, as politics change, as people change, certain songs still seem to resonate.
In the 1960s, people were trying to get away from the pop song format. Tracks were getting longer, or much, much shorter.
I thought the '60s was the most exciting time and the most vital music, and we were really together as one mind then. Then afterwards, the songs and the bad drugs, that took its toll.
The moment artists can just do what they love to do then music will go right back to where it used to be. I mean back in the '60s and '70s and '80s, that's what it was.
A lot of people think that the music was responsible for a lot of changes in the Sixties, but I think the music came out of it. The music wouldn't have happened without the social changes.
When it comes to music, we live in a very different world than everyone did in the 1960s and 1970s.
The '60s weren't my cup of tea. I never bought that philosophy that, you know, we're all brothers and that'll solve everything. And I never believed that music dictated the times. I always thought it reflected them.
