Excerpt
During the period of the 1950's and 1960's, our country experienced many radical and/or explosive events in which music, in the form of protest songs, played a vital role influencing events and their outcomes. But such events as the Civil Rights movement, Bay of Pigs, Vietnam Conflict, and labor strikes belong to a different past. From a period of history that was known for its social consciousness, we have come to a present where the individual is paramount. Apparently, there is not the same devotion to social change in today's music as there was twenty to thirty years ago.
