you're listening to what right now????

[Wombat]

One hundred percent. Brilliant live bands. Gurus still rocked hard when I saw them a few years ago at The Entrance Leagues though I thought Brad Shephard was going to have a heart attack.

I saw them at the Tivoli in their prime when Shephard was supposedly a sex symbol.

For TB & Recky maybe... was reasonably popular in Australia

Songs of peace and love… flower power,

The world seems to be getting far more polarised than it has in a long time…. Trump and the Republicans seem to wanta do away with democracy and the new order is about power, greed, and facts are what you want them to be regardless of the evidence.

There was a time like this before i.e. the late 50’s thu to the late 60’s… and into that mix young artists produced a number of songs about being united, peace, love, flower power etc.

The music in rap [i.e todays protest music] all seems to be about anger and hate… and I do wonder aloud whether music reflects society or in part directs society.

This is a quick list of songs that have as much relevance today as they did way back then, in no order just as they come to mind, and only a few of many

John Lennon “Imagine”, ”Give Peace a Chance”
Beatles ..”All you Need is Love”.. “Help” , “Let it Be”
Dylan … “Masters of War, With God on our Side, Blowing in the Wind, +++++ heaps
Scot Mackenzie … “If you go to San Francisco be sure to Wear a flower in You’re Hair”
Meline … “Candles in the Wind”
Sam Cooke …”A change Gonna Come”
The 5th Dimension …”The Age of Aquarius”
Country Joe Fish…”1 2 3 4 What are we fighting for”
Robbie Burns [Aussie] … “ Smiley”
Cold Chisel …”When the War is Over”

BTW if I had to pick a fav... for anti war it would be Country Joe Fish, or Dylan's With God on our Side... for a message John Lennon's Imagine

Giving my ears their dose of Dutchness

And then came…Vincent Damon Fournier …or Alice Cooper if you want

 

[BrisRecky]

And then came Roger and Pete

 

[BrisRecky]

And for all you NWOBHM’s out there

 

[style_cafe]

And then came Roger and Pete

I finally met Roger in 2009 after being a lifelong Who fan.
Went backstage at the Hope winery and spent 20 mins with him in his dressing room
then went to Acer Arena midweek VIP tickets and spent about 40 mins chatting to him backstage.
An amazing performer and totally unaffected by fame.
It helps when he`s been a mate of dad`s since the early 60`s...

Country Joe and the Fish were making a reasonable enquiry as far as I’m concerned

[BrisRecky]

looks like it was filmed in whoop whoop near scumburgia, plus it’s a reasonable story about lifestyle up in Bogania
