“Under the cobblestones lies the beach”
This quote ("sous les pavés, la plage"), written all over the walls of Paris during the uprisings in May of 1968, captured the attitude of the moment – to find your paradise, you must first tear up the man-made institutions underneath your feet. And tear it up they did. From King's speech in Memphis and the protests in Chicago, to the bombs in Hanoi and the revolutions in Europe, host Massie Minor will take you on a sonic journey revisiting 1968, now a half century away but more relevant than ever. And the music? Rock and roll came of age in 1968: Electric Ladyland, Music from Big Pink and This Wheel's on Fire, Beggars Banquet and The White Album, and many, many more. So turn on, tune in, and drop out as we celebrate the sounds of a year like no other. Hosted by Massie M.
