MAKE MUSIC NOT WAR

Here are some major artists that blossomed in the 1960's:
Jefferson Airplane
The Beach Boys
The Beatles
Roy Orbison
Buddy Holly
The Drifters
Jim Reeves
The Mamas & the Papas
The Monkees
The Rolling Stones
Simon and Garfunkel
The Supremes
Fleetwood Mac
Aretha Franklin
Gary Puckett & The Union Gap
The Grateful Dead
The Bee Gees
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Cream
Pink Floyd
Moody Blues
David Bowie


Songs of that era reflect the times. In one of Bob Dylan's very famous songs, Blowing in the Wind,
he sings,
"How many roads must a man walk down, before you can call him a man?
Yes and how many seas must the white dove sail, before she can sleep in the sand?
How many times must the cannon balls fly, before they're forever banned?
The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind"


This reflects the feeling of anti-war and pro-peace. It's saying, do we really have to send a man through hell to call him a man? The dove represents peace, and he's singing how many wars must we go through until we can see peace.
