I am listening to a recording, 'The Travelers 3, Live! Live! Live!,'
recorded at The Troubadour around 1963. I have several such albums. Listening to the patter between songs there may be many references to such things as then current TV slogans, popular products, other music and acts, and newsworthy events. I see these albums as insights to the culture of the early 60s. BTW, I am excluding from this discussion the songs themselves-the protest songs and other political songs. Those deserve a deeper discussion in themselves.
In 'Live etc', for instance, are allusions to Excedrin, Duncan Hines and 'The Windjammer,' a Cinerama film

I agree, John.

In addition, imo, the music album notes and the music album artistic covers are {were} also cultural historic artifacts.
