Poem Title:
Poem
Carlo Santana's Black Magic Woman, in the 60's and 70's gave magic to his band.. Drugs were part of this movement it's fair to say. Getting high for many, while listening to their music, was the common way Peace signs, beads, bell bottoms, psychedelic shirts, desert boots, and long hair and marijuana, is what was in style. Looking back and being part of that history lifestyle, makes me smile. Peace protesters against the draft, and Vietnam war. Jimi Hendrix, Peter, Paul and Mary, The Beatles, Bob Dillon The Beach Boys,Led Zepplin, Rolling Stones,Elvis,Simon and Garfunkel, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Neil Young, Leonard Skynyrd, Eric Clapton, Carly Simon is all we heard. They kept our soldiers in Viet Nam mentally occupied. It helped them overcome their stress, and brought some pleasure to their lives. Rock N Roll Music had an impact everywhere.The melodies and lyrics represented a culture reflecting people, who really cared. Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Aerosmith, Neil Diamond, Barbara Striesand, Jim Croce made the scene. Years later Disco and the Bee Gee's came dancing in. Disco died, it didn't last long, during this time Rock N Roll kept rolling on. Rush, The Eagles, The Police, Peter Frampton, Boston, Reo Speedwagon, Blue OysterCult, Fleetwood Mac, Bob Seger, Steve Miller band, we listened to. I can't forget Journey, Bruce Springsteen, Foreigner or the Who. Bon Jovi, Creed, Madonna, Red Chili Peppers, Van Halen, Black Eye Peas, Were hot then. Rock N Roll songs, will keep on playing, and be appreciated over and over again. Time reflects the Lyrics in the songs, of the good times and the wrongs. Woodstock brought them all together, a lasting bond to last forever.. . Homeward Bound Simon and Garfunkel was the favorite song with the soldiers. Also John mentioned The Lion SleepsTonight by the Tokens. Robert Lindley also mentioned their groups that were left out. Please read his comments below. I also thank Robert for his valued input. I just want to add that the 60's and 70's were my personal favorite years. I say this because people really cared about the war and each other. They were right...
