Have a baby boomer book discussion that combines music sociology and history
Hosted by Hang Out in Queens and Nassau
Details
There was a great book that came out about two years ago called Fire And Rain , it gave a thought provoking overview of the musc scene in 1970. This was the year that the Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel split . The 60's dream was going sour after Altamont and the Manson Killings . Kent State and Jackson State Universities experienced campus killings by the authorities that spring . The singer -songwritter movment was replacing acid-rock . James Taylor and Carole King for example . Let's discuss the book , what music we were listening too , what impact the era had on us personally any. You needn't read this book cover to cover , just get the overview of what the author David Browne was disussing in the chapters . If this idea shows enough interest I will try to pick a date at Central Queens location e with inexpensive food and drink that is quiet enough and does not rush us . I am open to possible suggestions.
