      Here we are looking back with nostalgia, but our generation faced many hardships as well.
      The draft, an unjust war, assassinations of our leaders, civil liberties denied and the beginning of the media age, where image and distraction compete with facts and information.
      Not unlike this generation! I feel a kinship with them.
      This music brings back all the sweetness, excitement, and learned lessons of my life!

    I remember when the Byrds "Mr. Tambourine Man" hit radio air waves in the summer of 1965. It had the same effect of the Beatles hitting the scene in 1964. I think that Byrds song defined the 1960's overnight. It was a totally new sound. The Byrds recordings continue to influence newer generations today.

I turned 16 in Nov. of 65 and remember all these songs well (as well as many others from the 60s and 70s era) and although it's always good to hear them again, it's also kind of sad when I think about the fact that those great times are gone forever except in my memories. At 16, I had my whole life to look forward to. Now, at 70, I have the past to look back on.

She tried to interest me in her music and get me to be a brother to her, but I saw her as a surrogate parent because of our age difference and I never engaged with her as a sibling. It breaks my heart that I only realized this a few years ago but cancer had already taken her. When we meet again I hope we can talk about the music of our respective youths.

      There are a lot of silly songs intended just for entertainment from that era. The parents didn't think the dancing was clean & worried about their children's possible moral decay. If haven't already, watch movie "Dirty Dancing". There is current music with heart & soul. Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful", John Legend "All of me", Ed Sheeran "Perfecr" (ft Beyonce is personal favorite), Thomas Rhett "Die a happy man", Train "Drops of Jupiter", Vanessa Carlton "A thousand miles", Devin Dawson "All on me"... not impressive, planning a wedding so had these titles handy. Rap music can have foul language & sometimes don't like how it refers to women, violence, etc. Most of it is meant as a social commentary, 'only way to make money if you live in the hood is to be a member of a gang & sell drugs' kinda thing. Each generation pushes the boundaries in order to have people pay attention & listen to the message. My favorite is Eminem, can understand his lyrics. But true love is the blues... Etta James "At last", anyone's rendition of "Angel from Montgomery with most current fav Susan Tedeschi, Johnny Lang "Lie to me". Luv luv luv music! Every experience in my life, whether

    I was 8 in 65 living in California and remember these songs very well. There was a mom and pop market 2 blocks from my house. I had to pass there to and from school. They had a loud speaker set up in the parking lot that played all the pop music. They had their radio set on 93 KHJ Boss Radio (still remember the jingle). After school a bunch of us kids would go buy a soda or candy and sit out in the parking lot and listen to music. Such cool memories.

    I got to see the Righteous Brothers in concert a month before Bobby Hatfield died. I think it's been 20 years already since he died. He sounded just as good a month before his death as he did in the original recording. I saw Bill Medley in Las Vegas a couple years ago. Still great.
