Kicking off decades week with

The Sonics - Have Love Will Travel.

Thank you for the kind words!
And you're completely right about the lyrical misinterpretations... with 'Born in the USA' being a brilliant example, for sure.
(One of my all-time favourite albums when I was a kid, by the way. I got the cassette, and it was in permanent rotation.)
I guess my point 'was' how malleable and open to interpretation lyrics are, which can be wonderful... but it's certainly galling when it flies in direct opposition to what the artist in question usually stands for. Right-wing interpretations of Springsteen are particularly galling and ludicrous... lol.
Thanks for the great post.

Oh to clarify I was agreeing with the malleable part and used a bad example
Of people poorly doing it. I love how art can and does take on varied meaning depending on how and when it hits you in life.

Day 21: A song from the 60’s (no not 69 autocorrect sheesh)

I’m a huge huge fan of story telling songs. And I suspect that the 60’s was the peak of this musical form

 

[SalaciousMonkey22]

One of my favorites.

This was the very first song I thought of! Glad you picked it so I had to think of my second though

I loved this song so much as a kid. Just put it on and had a dance party with my kids. My little baby was doing all her signature dance moves- it’s the cutest.
Thank you for sharing this today

Day 21- A song from the 60's (wanted to go with The Doors but since I saw a few had already how about)
Sunshine Of Your Love - Cream

 

[ZfrkS62]

I love punk rock, but the 60s were the best decade for music imo. Great choices everyone!!!

Awesome stuff came out of the 60s and I think a lack of genre labels had a lot to do with it.

Record labels would put out anything to see if it sold. Artists were allowed to be artists.

Day 21: A song from the 60s

 

[CarlyAnn]

I probably should have picked a song by The Shangri-Las as Mary Weiss, their lead singer, passed away on Friday.

I would have lost money betting that this was a Beach Boys song.

You know it's a good cover when most people don't realize it's a cover

You know I always forget that.
