TT 16 August 2013: 1968

Dear Rock n Rollers, In 1968 Richard Nixon was elected US President, the Tet Offensive was a turning point in the Viet Nam War and young people around the world were 'Turning on, tuning in and dropping out' in the words of Timothy Leary. This is also the year featured in this radio show. Remember 'Love is Blue' by Paul Mauriat? Feeling Alright by Traffic? Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf?Revolution by the Beatles? I also included some songs which received less airplay in 1968, like Last Hopes' Gone from Paul Butterfield, or Way Behind the Sun from Pentangle. Enjoy!
