Episode 189: One Of The Main Musical Topics Of The 60s: Protest!

One nonviolent way [https://www.studiomillswellness.com/tales-vinyl-tells] to show one’s displeasure/disgust/disagreement is to protest. In a letter to the editor, written in a blog, by contacting your lawmakers, taking it to the streets and there are many other ways. Pete Seeger was known for his songs protesting mistreatment of workers and war itself, and over time there has been a great abundance of songs and actions of protest. Marvin Gaye, CCR, Nina Simone, Dylan, Lennon and many others wrote and performed their protest songs from What’s Goin’ on?, Blowin’ in the Wind to Fortunate Son, Give Peace a chance and Strange Fruit. In the future you’ll hear an episode of Tales Vinyl Tells dedicated to protest songs. Please send your ideas to me at TalesVinylTells@gmail.com and yours may well be included. And when you email me, please be sure to let me know who and where you are. I mention protest songs because we kick off with a real kicker from Quicksilver Messenger Service and include Petty, Joni, Cheech, Chong, Nick and more. Thanks for listening.

Welcome back to this hour that we call Tales Vinyl Tells.  It’s your chance to hear some of the great album rock from the 60s and 70s mostly.  We’ve been doing these programs since late 2019 and have covered lots a ground.  You know and I know that we’ve just scratched the surface of recorded rock, so the new shows keep coming.  The reruns aren’t bad either.  They can be heard on your favorite podcast app.  Just search for Tales Vinyl Tells. Today we’re going to say thanks and farewell to Marianne Faithfull, Jesse Colin Young of the Youngbloods and vibraphonist Roy Ayers Jr. The music under me is Roy Ayres with Herbie Mann at the 1969 Harlem summer of soul extravaganza with a song cowritten by Isaac Hayes. Those three have entered the room next door, as Henry Diltz coined the phrase. You also get some of the blues with Boz Scaggs and Duane Allman, together. So these are the stories that songwriters and artists want to convey to you. These are the Tales Vinyl Tells.
