  SPEAKER_01: Imagine a decade where music went from Elvis and Dowa to the Beatles and Motown and Psychedelic Rock and Woodstock and songs about changing the world.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_03: And somehow it all happened in ten years.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_03: In the sixties it didn't just change music, it changed what people expected music to do.
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_01: You had the British invasion landing like a musical hurricane.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_01: And Motown putting Detroit on the map.
• 0:29

  SPEAKER_01: Meanwhile, America was dealing with civil rights, Vietnam, political turmoil, and a generation that was starting to ask some pretty uncomfortable questions.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_01: And the soundtrack?
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_03: Absolutely incredible.

  SPEAKER_01: Welcome back to Beardating Crunchy Episode 19.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: Woo wee The 60s.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're gonna delve into the music of the 60s, which if you ask me, I feel like that's kind of when like music really started being everywhere, if that makes sense.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_01: Rather than just on the radios, like more people had record players, it just and and there was really you know a lot of firsts and um beginnings that had happened in the 60s that you know a a lot of even both of our favorite genres wouldn't be around if it wasn't for yeah um most definitely the the events and the in the in the music musicality of the artists that came up in the 60s.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_01: But um I uh unfortunately uh yeah uh don't don't delve back that far.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_01: So no um I I had to do a lot of research for this one, Bob.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_01: But you uh I did too.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_01: You did, but you also, you know, when we hit into the next couple of decades, I'll be able to match your your energy.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_01: But what I did find out, and I told you this though, was that as I was looking into it, I realized I did know more than I thought.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I just don't know how to fucking frame decades.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_01: Right, right.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_01: Because a lot of the shit that I thought, I was thinking 70s.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_03: So but it all kind of blends in there Especially the end of the 60s into the early 70s.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_01: Well, and that's because yeah, and we'll we'll get into that because there's you know, like I said, you know, the 60s were just a defining era.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_01: Like, you know, we like to talk about the 90s for us, but really I think 60s was like the music explosion.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, and that's where you know a lot of I mean 99% of artists today can thank most of the people from the 60s for their success, for the type of music, the the the the freedoms that they have.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_01: So but I am curious though, what your opening question is for this week.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_03: It's pretty stock, man.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_03: I I wanted to keep it simple, stupid.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, even though those guys weren't even around yet.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_03: Well, they were alive, but they weren't making music yet.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, like I said, it's it's pretty pretty basic, but I wanted to know do you have any songs from the 60s that you truly enjoy or that you can come back to and go, man, I really like that.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_03: Uh yeah, three.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_01: Three.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_01: And they're all from the same artist.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_01: Really?
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: Uh All Along the Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, not the original, huh?
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_01: Huh?
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_01: No, no, no, no, it's Jimmy for me.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's better.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_01: Um and then uh Voodoo Child, because of the guitar play.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and then probably my favorite song from him and from the 60s is Hey Joe.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_01: It's it's it's a dark song.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_01: It's a it's it's a dark song.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_01: I love that song.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but it, you know, if you guys haven't listened, go listen, and I'll I'll throw the songs up when I do the editing.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_01: But Hey Joe is about a guy that finds his wife cheating.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_01: He don't take kindly to the show.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_01: Don't date kindly.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but it's it's there was a way, you know, I I think a lot of the younger generation now struggle with like our like the 80s and 90s the way we did, because there was something about that music that just it grabbed you.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_01: I and I'm not saying our music didn't, I just think I don't know, maybe it's a generational thing, but like when I I can remember even as a kid, like not knowing who Jimi Hendrix was, but hearing my dad play music, and I can go, I know who that is.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know his name, but I know, and you know, as as a person that couldn't play a musical instrument, and my dad was a huge like he loved guitar.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, like one of his favorite was Stevie Ray Vaughn, and like he liked um he also covered Voodoo Child.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, and he did a fantastic dude him the the the the uh the Vaughn brothers amazing dude.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_01: They made a uh tape.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_01: I know we're getting a little off topic, uh, Double Trouble in the uh late 80s, early 90s.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_01: Good stuff.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_01: Get the fuck out of here, yeah.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_01: But um, yeah, but what about you?
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_01: What's the I I know you yours goes a little more eclectic.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, yeah, there were artists, like we've talked about this.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_01: I love Pink Floyd, but their 1960s shit I hate.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_01: You hate, yeah.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_01: Um, there there are two songs from them I like, but not more than you know, the songs that I had mentioned.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_03: So I joked with you earlier because we had discussed potentially not doing an opening question for these next few you know decades, dives.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but you know I like them and I try to uh pressure you're right, and uh but I messed with you and I was like, oh yeah, because I'm just gonna ask you, hey Eric, why do you not like the Beatles?
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I guess I'm gonna have to address it finally today.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_03: Well we're in the we're in the 60s now, so uh basically for me, I love the Beatles.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_03: My dad likes the Beatles, and anything by them at that point in time, I can I can get into and I I can enjoy any I loved the song Yesterday.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_03: I mean it's a classic song.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_03: Um I've been lucky to see Tommy James and the Shandells as I've alluded to in the previous music episode.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yep, the was it uh Revenge of the Rift.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_01: Because we were talking about concerts and shit like that.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_03: I I love uh the song I think we're alone now, which Tiffany recovered and recovered in the 80s.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_03: She she re-popularized it.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_03: But they had a ton of songs.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_03: Uh the one that's kind of on the tip of my tongue right now is called Crimson and Clover.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_03: It's an amazing song.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_03: They used a tremolo effect on the guitar in it for I want to say that was one of the first times anybody used that effect.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_01: Again, that goes to what I was saying.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_01: There was a lot of experimentation with guitars, and there was just a lot of different things.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_01: And we'll touch on some of that because yeah, go ahead.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_03: But there's a there's a few more.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, I like uh I like Roy Orbison, you know, pretty woman.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_03: And there's he was blind.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_01: He was just crazy.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_01: Such good music.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_01: Like it goes to show you that like you can do anything, you know.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_01: Just because you have some sort of disability, right?
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_01: There's somewhere else in your life where you can excel times ten if he found his.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, like I said, I I enjoy the 60s because of my dad.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_03: So there's a lot more I could go into.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not gonna waste a lot more time on it because we have a lot to cover.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, there was a lot that happened in this decade.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_01: So a lot to get to.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_01: But I will I will let you take the reins and I'll I'll kind of like I said, I have a lot of stuff wrote that written down, and as we go along, I'll I'll you know, I'll whatever.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_03: But I this is a weird seat for me to be in.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_03: I get to lead the episode on this.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I did want to talk here that you know we transitioned from the late 50s into the early 60s, and it was not like an abrupt transition, it was more of an evolution of things that were going on.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_03: Because in the 50s you did have raw rock and roll.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you had your you still had Elvis.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_01: You you you had your swing, like the uh the sock hop do-op.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the sock hop do-wop shit.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_03: You did have uh more RB becoming more prevalent, yes, yes.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_03: I believe Motown was founded in 1950.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_03: It was 59.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was 1959, but it really didn't it was around the early uh Barry Gordy had um the early ones, I believe, were the Supremes, uh Marvin Gay, James Brown, and Stevie Wonder were like some of his first ones that really set it off.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_01: And then as the 60s went on, that's when you had, you know.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_03: And it was kind of also led by late 1950s, big vocal songs, you know, like Sinatra and things like that.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_03: But then you get into the year of 1960 of our Lort and you do start getting cleaner production in you know, audio, music, everything sounds better.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the technology again was starting to change.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_01: And and and one thing real quick, I wanted to bring up because I talk about it so much, but you know, we talked about February 3rd, 1959, the day that music died.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_01: That was the the helicopter that had killed the big bopper, um, Richie Valens, and I forget the other guy.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_01: And the funny thing is, is if you guys haven't, I'll put the movie up, but there's a movie that actually depicts it.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_01: It's more so about Richie Valens.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_01: He was 17 years old when that went down.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but he wrote well, he didn't write La Bamba, that was already a but he had redone it.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_01: And funny thing is, is he was Hispanic but didn't speak a lick of Spanish.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_01: Really?
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, when he learned how to do La Bamba, that was the only Spanish he could speak.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_01: I did not know that.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and uh if you watch it, it's a great movie.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_01: Lou Diamond Phillips plays Richie Vallins.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_01: Um I can't think of a guy that plays his older brother, but he played a fucking hell of a role in that.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_01: Um, dude that plays Cypher, uh Joe Pantalioni plays his manager and shit in that movie.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_01: Uh it's a great movie.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_01: But what happens is there's this teen, you know, these teeny boppers, like I said, Richie Vallins, the big bopper.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_01: Um there was uh what was the other guy's name?
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I don't remember.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_01: There was a couple other guys' names, but uh Buddy Holly.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_01: Buddy Holly Buddy Holly.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_01: Uh but they were flying, they had a young pilot, the pilot crashed, they died, and Richie Vallins was gonna take a bus because he was afraid of flying, but they flipped the coin and he won.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_01: But you guys go watch the movie, it's called A Bamba, but I just kind of wanted to throw that in there because it was just it was a very important thing, and it happened really right before the 60s, and those guys were big music uh icons.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_01: So, but anyways, you as you were saying, we get into the 60s, the the the sound's changing, but it's more of a fluid kind of uh evolution, yeah.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_03: But we also get into more teen pop, yeah.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_03: So like teen idols, heart throbs, as they called them back in the day.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_03: We get more ballads, we get more dance records, Motown really starts to take off.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and then you get surf rock, which is like the Beach Boys Beach Boy.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_03: So, you know, Kevin Love's dad was a uh member of the Beach Boys, yeah.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_01: So was um Wilson Phillips, uh what's her face?
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_01: Her dad was Brian Wilson.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_03: You don't think about that stuff, but it's like second gen music, yeah.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_03: Second gen uh music babies.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and then the thing that really started to take off was there was a folk revival.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I I actually I have that down there.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_01: There was a very um controversial event that happened in the 60s with that too.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, you know, one of the greatest uh folk and blues and kind of grass, uh Bob Dylan.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_01: Uh so he was known as a folk singer, and like and he played uh at the Newport Folk Festival, uh, he plugged in an electric guitar.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_01: And the people hated him for it.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_01: Um he ended up being good at it though.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_01: Um he did a good job, but uh I I I I think he's one of the guys that get lost in the sauce because you hear things like, you know, everybody knows Elvis Presley took black music and you know, yeah it tried to make it like it was his even though it wasn't.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_01: But Bob Dylan wasn't like that.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_01: Like he was part of the like he actually rode for like the civil rights movement and shit like that.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_01: Like he he he really wrote for that.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_01: But I thought that was interesting because like he took a chance and and you know it at that time at that festival it failed, like they hated it.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_01: But eventually he ended up finding a way to mix the two and have have oh yeah, and just real quick, I know you know this, but our fans may not, the Wallflowers.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_01: Uh his son Jacob Dylan was the lead singer of the Wallflowers, if you guys didn't know that.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_01: Again, talking about a callback generational, but oh yeah, but go ahead.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_01: Let's let's let's continue with I'll let you do yours.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_01: Like I said, I just want to sprinkle in the few little facts that I So what are what what are we gonna stay in?
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_03: Are we gonna stay in the early 60s?
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_03: We we got we can't leave out the British invasion.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_03: That was early 60s.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_03: That was 1964.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_03: They say February 9th, 1964, when the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan show.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_03: That's when the world shifted.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, and something like 78 million people watched that.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and there was only like 85 million people in the US at the time.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_01: So it was like 95.5% of the population was watching that.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_03: But at that time you had the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Dave Clark Five, the Animals, the Kinks.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_03: There were a few others that were left.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_01: Cream started in this in the 60s with um Clapton.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_01: It was more bluesy, it wasn't the poppy kind of stuff, but that was that was the that's what kicked off the British.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and I will finally I am not a fan of the Beatles.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I never have.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they're around children.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_01: It's storytime.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_01: But I will say this.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not naive to the fact that I I don't respect, understand, and appreciate their impact on music as a whole.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_01: Um what the type of music that they made just didn't it's never been my type of music.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and just it's it's really hard to explain.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_01: I just there was just something about them.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_01: I just I just I guess I just didn't enjoy them.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but again, uh I understand um one of, if not the biggest musical cultural shift in the history of music when they came to America.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so you know, so many bands were were doing what they were doing.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_01: I mean Pink Floyd's first sound mimicked what they did.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_01: So but I I'll let you continue because again, you you have you have the big notes.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_01: So I have the big notes, yeah.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_01: Because I I just kind of did little outlines because I knew I knew you really had this one locked in.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_03: I I kind of wanted to touch on it.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, I don't think we really have to talk about the British invasion too too much, because obviously most everybody out there that likes music that's gonna listen to something like this, they know the Beatles, the Stones, you know, Dave Clark 5, the animals, things like that.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_03: But a lot of people don't realize is that we had a response as Americans too, as American bands were concerned, and that kind of was you know, uh Motown, Surf Rock, Folk Rock, and should I go through some of the names of these?
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_03: You have to so in Motown, you had the Supremes, of course, you had the Temptations, absolutely, the Four Tops, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, believe it or not, Marvin Gaye.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_01: That's what I mentioned earlier.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, what I had seen was their four first James Brown, the Supremes, Marvin Gay, and Stevie Wonder were some of their first ones.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_01: And um, yeah, Mo Motown is is one that I think because of the British invasion tends to get overshadowed.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_01: Um, because their their vocal ballads changed the way we look at love songs, and it went from mmm to a real get loud and and accentuate certain parts of the song.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_01: It was just different, and it was, you know, as we had talked before, your mom was, and so was mine.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_01: My mom was a big Motown fan of Elvis and a Motown fan too.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_01: My dad likes Motown too.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_01: Uh my dad didn't, but we most of the people know me know why.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_01: Um but you know, it it it it it should it should be as equally uh it should be looked at as equally impactful what Motown did as to what the British invasion did, because again, like you said, that was homegrown.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, all of that stuff was that like I said, that was our answer to the British invasion.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_03: And you know, with surf rock, we kind of lightly touched, and I believe it was surf rock, and a subgenre of that was called Sunshine Pop.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_03: But in that genre, you had obviously we mentioned it a little bit ago, the Beach Boys, you had the Turtles, you had the Association, and you had Love and Spoonful, dude.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_03: Love and Spoonful's awesome.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, they were good.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_01: I I was one of my dad, my dad loved them.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and I mean, and then I mean, it even goes, you know, it towards the end of the 60s, just with talking about the evolution.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_01: That's when psychedelic rock started popping off.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_01: And and and you know, obviously, you know, you being a Beatles fan and me being a Pink Floyd fan, that was where they started with the psychedelic.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_01: Then they moved into kind of a whatever.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_01: But um, but yeah, go go go into it, bud, because I know that's what do you want me to go into?
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_01: Psychedelics.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, man.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_01: Because that's I love I love psychedelics.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_01: That was the thing that really I never understood because the Beatles went from pop to a psychedelic stage.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and I still like I did like because that was the magical mystical tour.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I told you, I got I'm not I look, I've always said just because I don't like something doesn't mean I don't know about it.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_01: Um, that album was okay because it was really, really real.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and and I like that, but they were doing acid.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_01: They all were that was I mean, I've I've told the story about Pink Floyd and Sid Barrett about how he was taking so much that eventually it just fried his brain.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_03: You know, psychedelic rock is one of those things you either you either like it or you don't.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_03: It's a love it or hate it for sure.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and for some reason, like I said, we we've touched on it.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_03: I don't like everything by by Pink Floyd.
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_03: I do like Enough, yeah.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_03: But a lot of these bands you wouldn't even think were psychedelic rock, but Jefferson Airplane.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_03: JA all day.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_03: I loved them.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_03: I wonder what iteration of the name they're on now.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_03: Who knows?
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_03: Starship.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_03: Uh and the doors, I don't know if you ever really love the doors.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_03: I love the doors.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_01: Are you kidding me?
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_01: Jim Morrison is a fucking legend.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_01: Favorite song by the doors?
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_01: Um, it would it would have to be why can't I think of the name?
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_01: My father was a tailor, or my mother was a tailor.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_01: Um my father was a drunk.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that was the animals.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_03: That was House of the Rising Sun.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, that's right.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_03: That was the animals.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_03: That's a good fucking song.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_01: Then it's if it's not that, then it's gotta be um uh I can't think of any of the names.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_01: Like I can hear the door songs, and I can't think of any other names.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_01: Um Light My Fire?
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_01: Light My Fire.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_01: Light My Fire is a good tune.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and there's another one I'm thinking of, and the reason why I'm thinking of it is because there was a need for speed that came back in the early 2000s that had one of the door songs on it, and I always played it because it was great, and I can't think of the name of it.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah, the doors are very I'm gonna give you my favorite door song, and if you've never heard it, you should listen to it.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_03: And it if you have you have you ever seen the movie with uh Val Kilmer?
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I yeah, I I've only seen it once, but it's it's it's been a very long time.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_03: So my favorite door song is at the end of an album, and I think it was their first album, but it's a song called The End.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_03: If you've never heard it's a little long, I think it's like eight, nine minutes or something like that.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_03: I'm a Pink Floyd fan.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_03: But I will tell you to listen to the song The End, dude.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_03: It is it is phenomenally good.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_01: The the Jim Morrison has one of the most uh recognizable and iconic voices of all time.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_01: Um, you have a few that are able to to to pull that off, and and and he was he was absolutely one of them.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_01: So um, yeah, and and again that bleeds into I'll go into my story real quick.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_01: I wanted to write this down, but what a lot of people don't know is, and and I've said this before, Pink Floyd started out like that, but they had about six or seven different names.
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_01: Really?
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't know that.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_01: So it started out with six of them, and this was before Gilmore, and they were called the Sigma Six.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, they had some bad ones.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_01: Um so you want to hear something funny you didn't know.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_01: There's a heavy metal band from the eighties that did not originate their name.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_03: Really?
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they it was spelled.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: Different, but they then went into the group changed a little bit and they called themselves the Megadeths.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_01: Really?
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_01: And then they went to the Ab Dabs, the Screaming Ab Dabs, Leonard's Lodgers, The Spectrum 5.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_01: And right before they finalized on Pink Floyd, they were the T set.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_01: Ooh.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_01: And what a lot of people don't know is they actually also started, they gave up on, I forget which one of them, because it was already taken.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_01: And they had to come up on the fly.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_01: And Sid Barrett was a big blues guy.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_01: And Pink Anderson and Floyd Council were two of the biggest.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_01: Pink Floyd.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_01: That's ingenious, man.
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_01: And then it was actually the Pink Floyd sound at first.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_01: I could see that working.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_01: And then one day uh the flyer people wouldn't let them fit all of that with those words.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, so they shortened it too.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_01: And Pink Floyd was born.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_03: And most of us either just say Floyd or Yeah, that's that's I did thanks for the history lesson.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_01: Bro, I'm telling you, when I I know so much about Pink Floyd, it's absolutely disgusting.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_01: I know of a lot.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_01: But it it's I I I I understand why people don't like them.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_01: I I I truly do like there are artists I like that I go, I don't know why you don't like them.
• 23:19
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 23:19
  SPEAKER_01: But but I understand why people don't, they're different.
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_01: But what I don't understand is you cannot uh I love the Beatles, I love Motown, but the shit that they were doing when you go back and listen to Wish You Were Here and Uh Uh Dark Side of the Moon, they were doing so much experimental shit, and it was just so different.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_01: And and you have to like respect how different and how like you know they didn't want you to know who they were.
• 23:45
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 23:45
  SPEAKER_01: Like they wanted you to listen to the music.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_01: If you ever get a chance, and I know you're not a big fan, but find on YouTube, it's called Live at Pompeii.
• 23:53
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, and they do some of their because some of their older 60s songs, like um uh Echoes, is a really good song.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but they do kind of a collection of songs, but they went to the site where Pompeii Paris set it up and they recorded a live album.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_01: Damn, and they have video of it.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_01: That's awesome.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_01: So if you get a chance, check that out.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_01: But I again I said I was gonna let you lead it, but I think you're fine.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_01: I got I I had some points just to keep people you know, like there may be some Pink Floyd listeners that didn't know that information.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_01: And if you guys want to know, reach out to me.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_01: I'll tell you all you need to know.
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_01: I know I know more about them than I probably should, but let's keep it moving because we have some big events we still haven't got to and and all kinds of stuff.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_01: Do we want to go to the biggest event to close out the 60s, or do we want to well, I want to talk about one that happened before that um that I I I teased you in the beginning.
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_01: So there was actually in 1967, the summer of love, the Monterey Pop Festival.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_01: I and I yeah, you would right.
• 24:59
  SPEAKER_01: So it what people don't know is is they get the this event and the next one we're gonna talk about mixed up.
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_01: The Monterey Pop Festival was what really pushed Jimi Hendrix.
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_01: That's where he started getting, and that's also the one where he lit his guitar on fire and was playing it.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_01: A lot of people think that happened at Woodstock, it did not.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but I just wanted to bring that up, and uh yeah, let's let's let's pop into the the one that changed the world.
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_01: August 15th through 18th in Bethel, New York.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Woodstock.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_01: Woodstock, man.
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_01: The the the legend.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_01: I think any or anybody, whether you like the music or not, was a music lover, would have loved to have been.
• 25:45
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I actually found out an amazing amount of information when I really dug into that concept.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the the fact that there was artists that had to play instead of 20 to 30 minute sets for three hours because like there wasn't like buses and planes and tour buses.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_01: Uh there was one young girl, I think she was like 17, 18, 19.
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_01: Her and her mom were driving there.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_01: She was supposed to perform and they got stuck in traffic.
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah.
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_01: And like it just the shit that happened.
• 26:17
  SPEAKER_01: But let I I want to hear what you got because I know you really do your due diligence.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_03: Well, did you do know that it started off as only being like a 50,000-person event?
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_01: It was, yeah, that's what it was supposed to be.
• 26:26
  SPEAKER_01: And it was ticketed for the first 78,000.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_01: But they couldn't handle the amount of people that showed up.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_03: Approximately, because they don't exactly know.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_03: They are approximating four, four hundred thousand people.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_01: Everyone I've seen said 500.
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_03: So between four and five hundred thousand people.
• 26:44
  SPEAKER_01: That's the way I would take it.
• 26:46
  SPEAKER_01: But do imagine.
• 26:46
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, even when they show the pictures, you go, that's way more than 50,000 fucking people.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but but what I don't get is they said it was for 50,000, right?
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_01: But they sold 78,000 tickets.
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_01: So you were already off.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_01: Well, that you already thought there was gonna be more people there.
• 27:03
  SPEAKER_01: Well, but if you look at some of the the groups that were there.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_01: The band, the Who, Jimi Hendrix, Janice Joplin, um uh uh James Brown was there.
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_01: Crosby Stills.
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_01: Crosby Stills.
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_01: That was when they first created Crosby Stills and Ash and Young.
• 27:20
  SPEAKER_03: Joe Cocker.
• 27:21
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, I forgot about him.
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_03: Jefferson Airplane was there, uh CCR was there.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Creden's crow.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_01: Um, what was their what was the one?
• 27:28
  SPEAKER_01: Um uh Joni Joni Mitchell, I think she was there.
• 27:33
  SPEAKER_01: I could be wrong.
• 27:34
  SPEAKER_01: Joan Baez?
• 27:35
  SPEAKER_01: No, no, I think it was Joni Mitchell.
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_01: Santana?
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
• 27:39
  SPEAKER_01: Believe it or not, Santana.
• 27:40
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Santa.
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_01: And that was actually his biggest concert to that date.
• 27:45
  SPEAKER_01: Um here's a fun fact, what a lot of people also don't know.
• 27:50
  SPEAKER_01: Everybody knows Jimi Hendrix and his Star Spangled Banner.
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_01: But what people don't know is do you know when he played?
• 27:57
  SPEAKER_01: When he played?
• 27:59
  SPEAKER_01: Like in the course of the concert?
• 28:00
  SPEAKER_01: No, I do not.
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_01: So it was it was it was Friday, Saturday, Sunday, right?
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 28:05
  SPEAKER_01: Obviously, it ran over.
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_01: He only played in front of like 8,000 people because it was Monday morning.
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_01: Everybody had ran.
• 28:11
  SPEAKER_01: He was supposed to be the headliner in the last one, but everybody had already been heading home.
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_01: Damn.
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_01: And he was basically playing to an empty crowd.
• 28:18
  SPEAKER_01: Hey, it's magic.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, dude, when you hear him use play the uh oh my god, it was so that's why I don't care.
• 28:29
  SPEAKER_01: And and and I know technology will get better, but I don't think, and this is my opinion, yeah, we will ever find a person that creative with a guitar again because it would be hard pressed.
• 28:44
  SPEAKER_01: It just the things that he was doing, and he had to play it upside down because they did make left-handed guitars back then.
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_03: And he was really pioneering on using sounds and effects and was, and I mean, you yeah, the guy was incredible.
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_03: He just and and and yeah.
• 29:00
  SPEAKER_01: I mean God, the again, I would have loved to have been at that concert.
• 29:07
  SPEAKER_03: But do you do you know what the whole premise of it was?
• 29:12
  SPEAKER_03: Um I know a lot of people are like, ah, it was the hippies.
• 29:16
  SPEAKER_03: No, no.
• 29:17
  SPEAKER_01: Um remind me, I I forgot to write that down.
• 29:22
  SPEAKER_03: So Woodstock was a mass concert event that was for peace and anti-war.
• 29:30
  SPEAKER_01: And I thought it was supposed to be kind of like an art, a music, and arts festival as well.
• 29:34
  SPEAKER_03: But it it was a lot of peace and anti-war stuff because obviously Vietnam was going on at the time, and that can segue into something else here in a second.
• 29:44
  SPEAKER_03: But you had that, you had the hippie movement, you had youth culture and social change happening because of Vietnam and if you really want it as the 60s.
• 29:51
  SPEAKER_01: And if you really want to think about it, it could have been the birth of counterculture.
• 29:54
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, it was.
• 29:55
  SPEAKER_03: You know, because it was also the peak of rock music in the 1960s as well.
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_03: So it's kind of like it did so much that people don't really think about.
• 30:06
  SPEAKER_03: And you had a lot of things going on, moving parts from that era because Vietnam.
• 30:13
  SPEAKER_01: It was it was a you know, it was it was a very eggshell time in America.
• 30:22
  SPEAKER_01: Uh we were split.
• 30:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 30:24
  SPEAKER_01: Um, half of us were like, yeah, kill war, and then the other half was like, for what?
• 30:28
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_01: You know?
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_01: Wow and and and a lot of us feel that way today.
• 30:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 30:33
  SPEAKER_01: You know, like I I'm not saying there isn't times when war is necessary, but I think sometimes it's just a lot of dick waving.
• 30:41
  SPEAKER_03: A lot of it, yeah.
• 30:42
  SPEAKER_03: You're not wrong, man.
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_03: You're not wrong.
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_01: And again, I don't necessarily agree with what we're doing right now.
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_01: I I don't at all.
• 30:49
  SPEAKER_01: But that's I don't want to get it.
• 30:51
  SPEAKER_01: Neither here nor there.
• 30:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 30:52
  SPEAKER_01: Um but yeah, man, I mean and and I would there's another thing I wanna uh I would like to bring up.
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_01: Um I I know about this because uh my dad was part of this security group, not at this concert, but Yeah I don't know if you guys know, but the Rolling Stones had a free concert and I think it was 1968 or nine or something.
• 31:20
  SPEAKER_01: Um but it was uh it was called the Altamont Free Concert, and they had Hell's Angels.
• 31:27
  SPEAKER_01: Oh you you know where I'm going, huh?
• 31:29
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, your pops was one.
• 31:30
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 31:31
  SPEAKER_01: So they for security they used Hell's Angels.
• 31:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_01: And there was somebody in the crowd that got a little unruly, and unfortunately, one of the Hells Angels murdered a guy.
• 31:42
  SPEAKER_01: Oh man.
• 31:43
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and there was a lot of hoopla of that, but I brought that up because I've I've told you, and I think I've mentioned on here, maybe I have it, but my dad uh was a prospect for the Hells Angels.
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_01: Um, there was an old biker gang in South Akron, Kenmore area called the Misfits.
• 31:59
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 31:59
  SPEAKER_01: And it was my dad, my uncle, my great uncle, and and and friends of theirs, and you know.
• 32:05
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 32:06
  SPEAKER_01: And they and they were a biker gang, and they they were pretty tough.
• 32:09
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I've had people come up to me that I'd never met before and ask me if I was a Haley.
• 32:14
  SPEAKER_01: And that'll tell you, but uh he ended up that was turning into uh uh from from as much as I can remember what my dad said, it was turning into the Akron chapter of the Hells Angels, uh and he was prospecting for him because you couldn't just join your own like you had to and then he met my mom and things kind of changed, but sure anyways.
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_01: Um but I just thought I'd bring that up because yeah, there was this concert, it was supposed to be a free concert, and it got a little crazy, and you know.
• 32:42
  SPEAKER_01: But um, I mean, uh to be honest, I mean that's what what what else you got, man?
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_03: I alluded to it, but there's a bunch of good Vietnam protest songs that uh I wrote down there.
• 32:56
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, man, let's yeah, I'd I'd let's get into it.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_01: Because I know um uh Neil Young was big into that anti-war, and and I don't know if you have any of his songs, but I know he was part of of of creating those types of songs, but yeah, let's hear him.
• 33:10
  SPEAKER_03: I hit on some of the big like heavy hitters, yeah.
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_03: Uh I 1963 Blowing in the Wind by Bob Dylan.
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_03: Yep.
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_03: Good song.
• 33:20
