What Can We Learn from the 70s?

“TRY TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER RIGHT NOW”

by Sharon Rondeau

(Aug. 26, 2017) — It was a time for growing, learning, and finding out about the world.

And in that discovery, finding that all was not well with humanity.

It was a tempestuous time with the backdrop of the Vietnam War.

But it was also a time when “rock” music was still music, and the words carried a meaningful message.

The profanities and vulgarities of today were not even a thought if the musician wished to deliver that message effectively.

It was a time when the suggestion to thousands and thousands of people was, “Come on, people, now, smile on your brother, everybody get together; try to love one another right now.”

Why would that not work in today’s America?

The message is still out there.
