THE PEACE AND LOVE GENERATION I ran into a friend, Ginger, I haven't seen in years. While 'catching up' I discovered she went to Woodstock.
I have traveled around the world, met thousands of people during career and I have been into music my whole life. I've never met anyone who went to Woodstock.
How cool is that? I told Ginger she should get a t-shirt that says.I Survived Woodstock. Catching up with Ginger inspired me to do a series on 'the peace and love generation', which I am proud to say is my generation. These days we're called Baby Boomers (1945-1965). I look back at the turmoil of the sixties, the Cold War, Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam War, the list goes on, and I can not help but think it's a miracle anyone survived.
Then I think about peace and love (pretty good things to believe in), free enterprise, democracy, free speech and how our Constitution worked. Our Founding Fathers (sorry girls they were all men) (the original hippies) managed to come up with what scholars refer to as the most perfect governing document ever created.
Something that always smacks me between the eyes about Boomers and the 60's is, the music. We were the most prolific generation for music.in history.
No other generation even comes close. The same can be said for visual art. We were the most prolific generation for visual art.in history. No other generation even comes close. I posted several of my 'the peace and love generation' images, and a whole bunch of my favor- ite tunes, throughout this edition. OUT ALL NIGHT AND LOST MY SHOES I started going to really strange, weird, 'alternative' clubs in New York City in the seventies and the experience changed my life. Hey man, I am a farm boy from Indiana, I had never seen such carrying on.
When I was in New York City on 'business' (wink, wink) I would check out as many clubs as my liver could tolerate (back in my drinking days). Limelight (still in business), Danceteria, CBGB's, The Tunnel, Village Vanguard (still in business), Palladium, Lone Star Cafe and the list goes on. Indeed, back then, New York City was the art and music center of the universe. Studio 54 was the grand daddy of strange, weird and 'alternative.' The movie Studio 54 will give you an idea how wonderfully kooky the nightclub scene was.
Mike Myers does a fantastic job as the owner of Studio 54. Selma Hayek (I love this woman) plays a struggling singer trying to get into the music business. She has some hilarious scenes in the movie.
I always got a kick out of one club in New York City named Wetlands. The theme of this club was hippies and the sixties. When you walked in the club there was a tweaked out Volkswagen hippie bus in lobby. Wanna be hippie kids would come up to me at the bar and ask, 'Did you people really act that way?' I would say something obscure like, 'The party is in your head.' Watch Studio 54.
It's a real hoot. Three thumbs up! ALMOST FAMOUS Almost Famous is a really cool film about a kid in high school who wants to become a music writer and critic. The film shows the bizarre music groupie scene, that goes on to this day.
Almost Famous is loosely based on a true story. While still in high school Cameron Crowe traveled with, and wrote about, Poco, The Allman Brothers, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles and Lynard Skynyrd.
How cool is that? Jesus, when I was in high school I was just trying to pass typing class and get in a cheerleader's pants. Somehow, I managed to accomplish both.
Who said that? Kate Hudson is wonderful in Almost Famous. I don't know what it is about Kate Hudson, that girl rings my bell. I think it's her beautiful smile and wild hair. In real life Kate Hudson has been busy. She is the co-founder of the totally hip fashion fitness brands Fabletics and JustFab.
Kate Hudson's mother is Goldie Hawn. She was raised by her mother's longtime boyfriend, who she says is her 'real' father, Kurt Russell, a three thumbs up actor. BOB DYLAN More than any other musician Bob Dylan was the voice of 'the peace and love generation.' To this day I remember the first Dylan song I ever herd like it was yesterday, Lay Lady Lay. It is appropriate Bob Dylan was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in Literature.
The pros in his songs effected and influenced the entire world, especially the music world. It is appropriate Bob Dylan was declared a national treasure. This is the highest honor the United States gives an artist. Something I respect and admire about Bob Dylan, he has done this throughout his career, he will go to a small town like Dubuque, Iowa, and give a concert.
I do not know of many, if any, 'famous' musicians who have done this.
