I am very hopeful that your thread starts to blossom, Jerry. I think the topic, and the comparisons you seek will provide a fascinating look at how the 60's evolved into one of the most fascinating times in our history. These were evolutionary times in our society, with music, moral views, patriotism, all these things changing in huge ways. The cities you have chosen were the crucibles in which these changes were forged, and the music carried the message as it always had.

I sure hope those of you that were young performers in these days contribute. You were the ones that were shaping a young boy in Michigan to love and appreciate how music could shape popular views on a number of levels.

All the best,

Mick
