Comment:
1968, one of the best years ever for music. I was in 8th grade. It was a dramatic/tragic year for me. I became anti-Vietnam war. I became a liberal. President Johnson declined to run for re-election. On April 4th, I went to school to find out Martin Luther King was shot. On June 5th my mom woke me to say Bobby Kennedy was dead. "NOT AGAIN!" I thought. I was at the beach everyday to try and pick up "chicks" though I'm not sure I would have known what to do with one if I had managed to pick one up. The Democratic National Convention "took it to the streets". Mayor Daley. Nixon elected President. Hey Jude was my favorite song that year.
Feedback:
Excellent Excellent Excellent Excellent Mix. I Wish I was alive during 1968, unfortunately I wasn't even thought of.
great stuff - very nice, hemi.
lovely concoction. I play the herb alpert tune a lot right now
I was 3 & we kept firmly out of Vietnam....a great looking mix though!
i was 5 and by that time i'ven't heard a single tune of this but nowadays I love nearly all of them
i was only ten but everynight through an adjoining bedroom door these songs came floating. i've probably never properly thanked you but thus began the musical journey that continues to this day. thanks!
This is a nice Acoustic Flashback , i was only 3 in that time so that i cant remember all of the tracks ;)

Oh man, this rules. I love it.
I was nine/ten in '68 with older brothers and sister playing music all the time - even so I didn't really appreciate then what I have since learned about the times and the fantastic music that forms the soundtrack to the story... great great mix!
Great mix. I was there too and remember that year like it was yesterday. Crazy times. I was 17 and a lot of guys I knew were coming back from Nam with their stories. A year later I enlisted! What was I thinking?
what a year! I was thirteen with a copy of the white album playing again and again. what are today's 13 year olds listening too? Don't ask, but I'm sure O'Reilley does not like it. I probably don't either. Love those Grass Roots.
When I was in 8th grade, my favorite song was "Never Tear Us Apart" by INXS. As history seeped into my brain, I began to wonder what my generation was going to look back on... I'm almost thrirty and I'm not sure the world has learned the underlying lessons of our sorted past. Thank God for the musicians always with us along the way.
