Listen to a video of Grace Slick belting out 'White Rabbit'. You may want to look into the book 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' by Lewis Carroll (another English writer) in order to understand some of the references made.
Ain't it amazing how many songs refer back to literature?
Some of that 'hippie (not hippy) stuff' was damn good.
It isn't a matter of knocking the literature lyrics. I actually like the liberal messages of the lyrics of the 60s/70s, just not the music style.
Lots of folks of that era love Bob Dylan. As far as social awareness I get that. But I do not like his voice. I think he is a great guy, but I never got into his sound.
Pat Benatar will never be widely known for this following song "Tough Life", but looking back at it now, the lyrics remind me of the trust fund brat Trump is proving to be.
