Song on my mind... "San Francisco" by Scott McKenzie
If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people there
All across the nation,
such a strange vibration
People in motion
There’s a whole generation,
with a new explanation
People in motion, people in motion
Last night, I was listening to live music at a local cafe. The anti-war sentiment ran deep amongst the performers. Songs from a past generation came back to life with Bob Dylan leading the way. Woody Guthrie and Kingston Trio songs made brief appearances. Original compositions expressed in words and melodies what activists attempted to express in the streets. The same message conveyed differently and received openly.
On a random note, somebody brought in a didjeridu, gave a brief history about the instrument and then played a few songs. It was entirely unexpected, but quite appreciated.
