Music is an essential part of society.
It reflects:• Culture

Music became more experimental, radical, and
outwardly political.
• Scott McKenzie’s “San Francisco (Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)”
• Neil Young’s “Ohio”
• Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are A- Changin’”
• Arlo Guthrie’s “Alice’s Restaurant”
• James Brown’s “Say it Loud, I’m Black and I’m Proud”
• Country Joe and the Fish’s “I-Feel-Like- I’m-Fixin’-to-Die-Rag”

The change in music could be attributed to:

Is politically charged music extinct today?

contemporary historical events of the past 45 years.
