Yep, the music my generation grew up with is certainly not what it seems. Checkout Dave McGowan's "The Strange but Mostly True Story of Laurel Canyon and the Birth of the Hippie Generation" to get an idea of the myriad of military and intelligence connections to the rock stars of the 60s and 70s.

I've read bits and pieces of this. It's stacked up with 100 other to-read articles. All of this is tied together...

All of this music is triggering. The She's a Rainbow video is especially memorable. It's hard to explain now how powerful an effect those bare thighs on the "go go" dancers had at the time. I'm struck by the impact of Travelstock Inst. in music. Are we in a VR game?

I don’t even think I’ve heard She’s A Rainbow before and I don’t haven’t watched much TV in years. The Stones were ok. Not really my generation.

I was in the middle of it. The world practically stopped when these groups latest records would come out, everybody listened over and over, and dissected the lyrics for days. Some people liked the Stones first, some caught onto the Beatles first. It was apparently a well planned one two punch to our hive mind.

Yeah, I was in the middle of it too, but I didn't go running for the shelter of her mother's little helper. :b I still have a lot of Vinyl though.
