(Finished March 5th, 2022) Part 3 of The Best Songs of 1968 to 1970

Hello,

I watched another episode of the Apple TV "For All Mankind" series tonight. It's set in the late 60s-early 70s and some of the songs from that era just so good. I wanted to trip the light fantastic on this series of blogs from the best songs of those years. 

In some ways those songs seem so innocent, but hiding a darker truth underneath. It feels like there's a big societal change coming. That darker undercurrent was seen with the student protests of Vietnam, the 1968 Democratic National Convention riots and the chaos at the Altamont Rolling Stones concert. But also we had the mostly peaceful Woodstock concert and of course the moon landings, which seemed to bring Americans together. It certainly was an interesting time.
