Although it can be argued that this help from the federal government was what enabled the civil rights movement to defeat Jim Crow between the years 1960-1965, it has to be recognized that this federal government intervention was contingent to ratchet events which unfolded such as the rash of student sit-ins which occurred in the spring of 1960. This had catalyzed the movement led by Martin Luther King and his organization – the SCLC – which, after the Greensboro sit in mobilized the new grass-roots behind the encompassing struggle for federal intervention against Jim Crow in the south. To add to that, further pressure was added on the federal government to act in pursuit of Civil Rights, as white attitudes were changing in both the north and south due to the progression of technology which made the civil rights movement not only a national topic but an international topic but also in a sense America was slowly ‘growing up’. Therefore, although it could be argued that the federal government intervention was what had led to the ultimate demise of Jim Crow between the years 1960-1965, it has to be acknowledged that there were outside factors which catalyzed in a sense ratcheted up federal government intervention. It is evident that Jim Crow could not of had been defeated between
Also, to be honest, during the recording, John was told what to play, although John had a lot of different interesting funky material. Be that as it may, John reveals his talent on “BSSM” record. During BSSM recording session a lot of different material was composed. From fast-funk energetic songs, such as “The Power of Equality” and “Give it Away”, to lyrical ballads, such as “Under the Bridge” and “Breaking the Girl”. “My lovely man” is song about Hillel Slovak, previous guitarist of ‘Chili Peppers and a good friend of Michael ‘Flea’ Balzary and Anthony Kiedis, who passed away because of drug addiction.
Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell were part of the folk music scene when it came to protesting against or for social issues. Folk music from the 1960's influenced the politics of the era more than any other mainstream media. Singers such as Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan sang about hard-hitting issues like Civil Rights and the Vietnam War. Rock music started gathering followers at this time with some of the most talented artists starting the movement. The sixties were when many artists started experimenting with different sound techniques such as distortion and playback.
Plus, he also coined the term ‘rock video’ in a printed interview in 1959. According to Bill Griggs, editor of the ‘Rockin' 50s’ music magazine. (Ronnie) The Beatles were already popular throughout Europe and after winning over America, "Beatlemania" was starting to take a toll on them. It was impossible for the Beatles to appear on every television show to promote their music. They also did not want to do live appearances, because they could not even hear themselves during these performances, let alone if anyone else could.
During 1957 and 1965 they have some problems with the government and North Vietnam send their troops to fight against the government. After this the war started. The North Vietnam has the support of other communist countries for example the USSR and the South Vietnam have the support of the US, this because the US was anti-communist. The US sent equipment and troops to South Vietnam, because they were going to help them win this war against the communism. When the war started many American people was against it and want this to end son as possible.
The tragic endings to both of these novels, particularly ‘1984’ was controversial in the way that readers thought that it was a real possibility and that a dystopia caused by the state could actually occur. Orwell was trying to portray the dangers of totalitarianism authority and I think he does this effectively by tapping in to the emotions of the reader. ‘Brave New World’ is set 600 years in the future, therefore a lot of the fear built up by Huxley is lost. However, ‘1984’ is set around 40 years into the future which makes the possibility more of a threat, making the reader feel fearful, thus making the horror created by Orwell a more frightening prospect. The endings of both
Once back in the United States, Benson and Motown songwriter Al Cleveland prepared an initial rough version of the song, and invited Marvin Gaye as a third collaborator on the song. Marvin Gaye depressed from the death of singing partner Tammi Terrell and strongly considering a retirement from performing, planned to produce "What's Going On" as a single for The Originals, but Benson and Cleveland convinced Gaye to record it himself. On the finished track, Gaye musically ponders on the state of the world and the Vietnam War. The song is notable for its heavy use of major seventh and minor seventh chords, a fairly uncommon occurrence in popular music of that era. Also, notably for this record, Marvin Gaye sings both lead and background vocals himself.
How Significant was the Vietnam War in Stimulating the Protest Culture of the 1960's? The popular protest culture that formed within the 1960's, that rebelled against the American traditional system arguably occurred because of the involvement in the Vietnam war from the federal government. Many young student and black Americans specifically, were highly against American intervention, prompting the protest culture. However, other reasons could have prompted this too, like the assassination of Kennedy, more political interest and involvement from young radicals now favouring communist and socialist ideas, and also, arguably the increase in education meaning young adults now didn't have to earn their livings as early on in their lives. Firstly, the Vietnam war was undoubtedly a very significant factor in the increased protests during the 60's.
This compelled a sense of unity, which in turn helped groups organize to change how the nation viewed the war. Country Joe McDonald’s song emphasizes a misunderstanding between the young radicals of society and their leaders, “And it’s 1,2,3, what’re we fighting for? / Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn” (14-15). An increasingly noticeable ‘generation gap’ started to widen as U.S. News & World Report “assured its readers that Vietnam was a “local war... Big war is not threatened” (Lynskey 89). However, when President Johnson and other military advisors mixed-up events, possibly deliberately, to claim that North Vietnam had just attacked the US naval force in the Gulf of Tonkin- an incident which later proved to be a minor naval clash (Prados 1) and used this conflict as a premise to launch a full scale invasion of the communist state, the antiwar movement consolidated with great speed.
The 1960s is the decade where many changes occur, music would change people’s way of thinking, the war that just kept destroying families and people’s life because no one would surrender. And the group of people who protested against all this violence. Our important music history in the 1960s “The Beatles” were Number ones “Life is very short and there's no time, for fussing and fighting my friend. I have always thought that it is a crime, so I will ask you once again: try to see it my way, only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong. While you see it your way, there is a chance that we might fall apart before too long.
