1967 Revolutionary Romance Part I

It was about this time that I became aware of "The Establishment" and knew that to be a part of it was a bad idea. Consequently, my taste in music tended to accompany this anti-establishment stance. Not all the music was particularly militant, but if it seemed to carry either a certain kind of feeling then it was "my" music. This taste was irrespective of genre. Some of the songs from this collection included:

• I Can See For Miles by The Who
• I Dig Rock And Roll Music by Peter, Paul and Mary
• The Beat Goes On by Sonny and Cher
• White Rabbit by the Jefferson Airplane
• Gimme Some Lovin' by the Spencer Davis Group
• Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out) the the Hombres
• Carrie Ann by the Hollies
• Dedicated To The One I Love by the Mama's and The Papa's
• Penny Lane by the Beatles
• Higher And Higher by Jackie Wilson
• San Francisco by Scott McKenzie
• A Whiter Shade Of Pale by Procol Harum
• Somebody To Love and White Rabbit by the Jefferson Airplane
• For What It's Worth by the Buffalo Springfield
• Ruby Tuesday by the The Rolling Stones
• Come On Down To My Boat by Every Mothers' Son
• I Was Made To Love Her by Stevie Wonder
• Respect by Aretha Franklin
• I Think We're Alone Now by Tommy James and The Shondells
• The Letter by the Box Tops
• Light My Fire by The Doors
• Ode To Billie Joe by Bobby Gentry

It was also the year Jimi Hendrix put out Are You Experienced? The songs didn't get a whole lot of airplay at first, except for Purple Haze and The Wind Cries Mary. When I first heard his music, I recognized that Jimi was already way out in front of all the other musicians I admired.
