Acoustic Oldies Part 3 - The Sixties Continued

Then there was Bob Dylan, of whom we'll hear more in the 70s, with hits like "Masters of War," that have found new fame under the replay of the Vietnam fiasco called the Bush administration (continued in the Bush Administration Vol.2 - Barack Obama)...

The difference was - and what made the Sixties so special, is that folks like Barry McGuire were able to say in songs like "Eve of Destruction" what nowadays nobody wants to hear, even though the obvious fulfillment has drawn a lot closer since.

And talking about war and destruction, we've got to give John Lennon credit for being one of the furious voices against American warmongerism in the 60s, as with his famous "Give Peace a Chance" from '69.

By the slogan, "If you can believe your eyes and ears" The Mamas and the Papas" conquered much of the Hippie World with not only "California Dreaming," but also the acoustic ballad "Dream a Little Dream of Me."

Other acoustic hits from the 60s may be posted here at some later point in time, but let's move on the the 70s for now...
