Hey, you're listening to Ramona radio. I have a rose Darrow in studio and she's got this cool project that's coming up
(00:07):
I'm really excited about it and I don't this is just the coolest concept. This was your concept, right?
I've been thinking about it for a couple of years and I was finally able to implement it in my classroom
Recently because we did go through kovat. All right, so I was teaching online mostly because you're a history teacher
Yeah, my college. Yeah by trade, right? Okay. And so this new is and obviously everybody knows you from desert crossing
(00:32):
Correct. So I guess it wouldn't take long. I guess it's a natural eventually those things are gonna collide right music
Well, I have I have this passion in a number of different fields actually
But certainly US history and music and I thought how can I bring these two things together?
All right, you've got me hooked because I'm a history buff
(00:55):
So I'm like I'm one of those guys that listen to like four hour long podcasts
I have to commute to Carlsbad when I go do my day job. Oh nice. So I listen to history stuff all the time
All right, break it down. What is it? So we
desert crossing and I are doing a
slideshow and
presentation on
(01:15):
US history through rock music and folk music and especially focusing on protest music. So we're looking at the time period
1960 to
1990 and we're gonna look at I believe seven artists and find out what they were protesting
Why they were protesting and also give you a little bit of history on that era at that time
(01:38):
So the things that were going on politically
economically socially so it'll be I'll present a couple of slides and
Then I'll talk about the artist and then Mike and I will present as desert crossing the the actual piece
Man I this is and Mike you got to be stoked about this to totally now
(01:59):
Have you guys done this already before or is this?
It was the first thing we did this the first time we did it
We did it in roses class at Palomar College and the kids just totally dug it
You know because we integrated this music from a time period that they're not a they're not a part of right
But they they could see the the passion in the music
(02:23):
I wanted to give students an opportunity to sort of live the era a little bit by a musical presentation also
Because you know, I think
It doesn't matter what age you are right now that period of music
Was so fantastic and they still play it today and like you hear songs from that era and I don't care what age you are
(02:43):
Everybody's like that's a great song and they know the song right but it's fun to peel back the layers a little bit
Yes, and kind of go. No, you got to understand why the song was written. Yeah, you know Bob Dylan song Masters of War
This is pretty dark and it's it's definitely all about
It's an anti-war song generally not not necessarily Vietnam because it was written in the early 60s
(03:07):
Before the Vietnam War heated up, right? So Dylan wrote about we were consultants
Yeah, well not only that but also about people who are making a lot of money off the war in exchange for
The military complex, right? Yeah, exactly. He wrote it right after Eisenhower's address on the military industrial complex
Mm-hmm, and then you got then you got Neil Young's response to the Kent State
(03:31):
Shooting Oh and he goes out he sees it. He reads about it
He writes Oh Ohio
Within an hour within an hour. He goes into the woods
He writes Ohio he comes back. He shares it with David Crosby
David Crosby gets on the phone
(03:52):
Calls stills and says hey
Get a studio. We're coming down
You know that song was out in 24 hours
Unbelievable and that's one of those anthem songs. That's an iconic song that have been around forever
Yeah, and I guess I so I what I love about this whole concept is first of all, we need to we need to understand our history
(04:12):
Right. We're doomed to repeat what we don't remember, right? Yeah
But when you have such an a fantastic
Historical event take place. I guess it's like the 9-eleven of our you know, my generation or you know
These these major moments in history and when they're cemented in music
It's interesting. Yeah, it it helps us to reflect forever. Yeah, you know, it's it's our way of remembering over time
(04:38):
right, it's like and it's like one of the only ways that a an artist can express
The feelings that he's going to have
Well, it's an opportunity for an artist to try to promote social change
Or it could be political change. Yeah, whatever the topic is
I mean right now there are student protests at colleges going on throughout the country
(05:01):
That are trying to enact some kind of political change and the same was going on
You know in the 60s and 70s students were leading the movement to enact change
You know through music right? Yeah. Well, I guess this we may have opportunities for great songs to come out of this
Right. Well exactly right great. We've actually been thinking about it
(05:24):
Yeah, great music will always come out of turmoil. Sure. Yeah, I agree with you
