The psychedelic years of rock in the 1960s and 1970s were crazy. I don't think it helped that LSD was legal. Also, at this time I think our society was new to drug use and the government and police officials didn't know what to do about it. Today there are harsh punishments and it still takes place in rock but it isn't as popular.
I really liked how the musicians of this time spoke what was on their mind. They called out the government and it was a way of free speech that was getting mainstreamed. Today there is less criticism of the government through music and right now we need it the most the way the White House is being run.
