Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from September 20, 2024 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

from Banjo Paterson wikipedia page:
"In 1895, Paterson headed north to Dagworth station near Winton, Queensland. Travelling with fiancée, Sarah Riley, they met with her old school friend, Christina Macpherson, who had recently attended a race at Warrnambool in Victoria. She had heard a band playing a tune there, which became stuck in her head and replayed it for Paterson on the autoharp. The melody also resonated with him and propelled him to write "Waltzing Matilda" While there has been much debate about what inspired the words, the song became one of his most widely known and sung ballads."

If you look at the Kingston Trio's old album cover photos, they show as having short hair and just looking so clean-cut and not hippy-like at all. These days, when they perform, at least one member has long white hair, sometimes braided.

It's kind of strange how by the end of the 1960s a whole relation to this Music & Culture had been thoroughly shook up & deconstructed in so many ways... I see the 1960s as the Polarity of Innocence & Experience (nodding to Blake) ...both the thrill & the trauma of the transition in most areas... 'Pet Sounds' for example as one precise pivot point...

Yeah too simple a reduction really. In another sense - the Idealism stepped up a quantum level from Politics to Universal Utopianism itself with LSD & all that...
What people Dropped Out of was trying to recalibrate the mainstream System. As Tom Hayden I think noted - they thot early on that if they just tried to raise the awareness of the Establishment regarding Ethics & Justice - they'd see the light & change. As the decade progressed - they learned otherwise...
