How was music used during the Vietnam War?

Posted by admin on February 2, 2010

I’m doing a Senior Seminar paper on Vietnam and the music of time. My prof said I should focus on how the younger college age generation used the music to express themselves and just how they used the music in general. Anyone know any good books or sources for this?

You might consider using lyrics of the time as opposed to books and websites.

You can watch the ‘general’ cold war evolve into Vietnam in the lyrics by Dylan, Peter Paul and Mary, [some] Kingston trio, Dave Van Ronk and others of the cusp time when Vietnam was just tuning up. As the worm turned you see CW splitting as a direct result of the war, Folk fading to be replaced by predominantly anti-war lyrics, political lyrics, or ‘civil rights issue’ lyrics.

Merle Haggard, "Okie From Muskogee" and "You’re Walking on the Fighting Side of Me" emerged as a battle flag for the pro-Vietnam War factions, along with a song by an ex-Special Forces guy [name escapes me] "Silver Wings upon His Chest" about the Special Forces.

These songs were countered on the other side by "**shole From El Paso" by Kinky Friedman, "Your Flag Decal won’t Get You Into Heaven Anymore" by John Prine, songs by Steve Goodman, Kris Kristofferson, many others were openly anti-Vietnam War and made it into poplularity

The troops had their own obliquely anti-war preferences in music. We Gotta Get Out of this Place is an example. The song from the broadway musical hair, "Happy Birthday Abey Baby" became fairly popular and reflects the racial side of things. The haunting sound of "We Will All Go Down Together" by Billy Joel, sounds of helicopters in the background maybe covers the whole waterfront.

Jesse Winchester left to avoid the draft during the "Love it or Leave It" stage of things. Later he released a great album, "Learn to Love It" that’s worth a listen.

What kind of music is the best to listen to during an Andy Warhol exhibition?

Posted by admin on December 26, 2009

I’m leaving in just a bit to an Andy Warhol exhibition and I wanna make sure I have the right music with me on my iPod.

I’m not saying I’ll definitely listen to music, but if so, what do you think is the best kind of music that represents Andy’s pop art and would support his pictures?

It has to be Velvet Underground. Not only is it great music but Warhol managed there band.

What type of music do you like and are you a democrat or republican?

Posted by admin on December 19, 2009

I tend to think that people who really listen to music listen for the ability to relate to a song. I listen to Country, Christian and, and some old time rock and roll because I really feel that these songs hit the closest to home. They mesh with my core values. Do you think that the way you vote has anything to do with the music you enjoy. I mean do you believe that they complete each other well? Please tell me your favorite music and your political affliliation. And if you feel they blend well together?

I love to listen to all kinds of rock. My favorite band is the manic street preachers. They are a socialist band and very liberal but I am a conservative. I love their music even though I may not agree on their political stance.

How to transfer my iTunes music from old computer to new one?

Posted by admin on December 16, 2009

I just got a new computer. My old itunes had all my parents music on it, so I don’t want to just copy and paste it all. I want to transfer my music downloaded from iTunes, and any music that is on my iPod to my NEW computer. How do I do this without deleting all my music off my iPod? I would rather not have to download or buy any extra programs too, if that is possible. Thanks.

Download this thing called iPodRip. It worked for me.

What are some differences between the music you listened to as a child and the music you listen to now?

Posted by admin on December 13, 2009

1.What’s your favorite kind of music?
2.How do you feel when you listen to this music?
3.Is music an important subject at school in your hometown?
4.What are some differences between the music you listened to as a child and the music you listen to now?
5.How does music affect (or influence) people?
6.Compare the music that young people like and the music that old(er) people like.
7.Does western music have any influence on your country`s music?

1. I like indie/folk or anything that’ll catch my attention. I pretty much enjoy it all.
2. I feel happy, sad, fast, however I need it to make me feel.
3. I’m not in school, so no.
4. I think I grew up a bit. I used to love the pop, fad music. I still love pop, but fad music annoys me.
5. However it lets them.
6. People like the music they listened to when they were young. So, it’s really just the change in the music scene, not the ages of the fans.
7. My country IS the western influence.

Alright, my computer crashed and I basically lost all my music from iTunes. But I have my iPod Touch that still have my library. I also downloaded music from programs like Frostwire, so I can’t transfer purchases. Is there any programs that can take the music from my iPod to transfer it to my iTunes?
