Peace, Love & Rock 'n Roll....
These are a few of MY favorite things!
1960's and 70's music was full of messages about peace and love. In 1969, at the Woodstock festival, 32 acts performed for 400,00 + fans. And, of course, changed the history of Rock 'n Roll forever. And while serious social and political upheaval emerged, so did unity of thousands of the young people of America. 60's and 70's rock music also paved the way for the Civil Rights movement and the Anti-war movement.
"All we are saying... is give peace a chance!"
Give Peace a Chance was released in 1969 by, of course, John Lennon. Soon to follow were Peace Train (Cat Stevens -1971), Imagine (John Lennon -1971), Give Me Love ( George Harrison -1973) and a personal favorite of mine... War by Edwin Star in 1970. These artists, and so many more, truly believed in and strove for peace and love. Peace and love ... our ultimate weapons.
