I remember Baez for speaking out against the Communist Khmer Rouge slaughter of millions of Cambodians, while MSM and the "Libruls" remained silent as they had when Stalin starved millions of Ukrainians to death.
Yes, the Khemer Rouge were terrible, but what Americans do not like to remember is that it was the horrific American covert bombing of Cambodia that destabilized the country, and permitted the Khemer Rouge to take over.
Cambodia was a pretty nice country before Americans decided to give them freedom.
Nope it doesn't speak to me personally. I've got very green eyes. It just epitomizes the diversity of the time. It wasn't even a favorite of mine, tho I did like it.
Others that come to mind are Peter and Gordon, Chad and Jeremy, The Monkeys, certainly the Beach Boys, Jefferson Airplane, all the Motown stuff.

In 1995, while I was struggling to get free of my crack cocaine demons, I managed to stay up late one night without the aid of chemical enhancement and listened to a late night rock and roll interview show on FM radio. The host had Greg Lake and Carl Palmer as guests, and they dropped a huge bombshell.
They said that Jimi had tired of the hype and wasn't satisfied with his old band anymore and he wanted to branch off into new forms of music.
They wanted Jimi to help them put together a new group.

However, in the radio interview, Greg said that they did INDEED drop by and "noodle around a bit" at Electric Ladyland. He did not however, elaborate even after being pushed for more clarification by the host.
The group was to be called H.E.L.P. or Hendrix, Emerson, Lake and Palmer.
The mind boggles!

The Sixties also gave us Lowell George. Dixie Chicken was originally written in 1968! Here they are with Jessie Winchester, Bonnie Raitt and Emmylou Harris in 1977 performing this classic Little Feat - Dixie Chicken
Unfortunately, network Tee Vee being what it is, it's the SHORT version.
