I wanted to present a selection of some 60-es essentials - and this goal is hard to achieve. I'd say it is totally unfittable into 3, 10 or 33 even tracks :D - there are so much important bands you have to include, and in most cases one song is no-go to introduce a great band. Options, options... impossible to choose! So, I decided to skip the painful selection / rectification process and just chose a few of my favorites. And of course, I promise this subject to be continued!
Today's names are: Janis Joplin, Johnny Cash, Jefferson Airplane.
Before I start, a little visual intro - Jay Blakesberg's photos. He is the man with camera who documented 35 years of 'hippie chicks' in music, and one of my fave photographers.
His pics illustrate 70-80-es epoch, not the 60-es, but still. For more of his great stuff -- do check 
Well, I'd trade all my tomorrow parties for one single yesterday - if it was a Janis gig. Or maybe not, thats not 100% for sure. Freedom is just another word for nothing left to loose, as Janis taught us. Considering that... we have too much on our hands (that we do not value properly) and - and we are not free at all.
I did not grew up listening to Johnny Cash; discovered his music pretty late, just a decade back or so. But Cash is a legend, an important note
in the spirit of an epoch. Did you know, that he is considered - along with Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra - one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century? Ok, simply: he was cool! but modern generations prefer to listen to the current artists, and tend not to open the closed books. thats a fault - cause, you know, now they do not make it like they used to, anymore...
I cant say a lot about this song... and I am not well-acknowledged about the band, either. But I do know it was one of the hymns of 60-es... the song about some peels... mushrooms also were mentioned... and there exist some other stuff as well. The epoch had so much more freedom in many questions, including different stuff to use...
PS. Listening to the lyrics, I am getting an impression it has a solid allusion at the birth control pills. What will respective native speakers say?
NB. There also exists a video from famous Woodstock festival back in 1969:
I hope you enjoyed today's music selection, and travelling around the globe without leaving the Hive. 😎 The post goes for Three Tune Tuesday challenge run by
