00:00I could see this new revolution coming.
00:04It was an anticipation of the idea that everything would go wrong,
00:09but that music would prevail.
00:131971, I don't think the music was a reflection of the times
00:18as much as the music also caused the times.
00:23It was an incredibly tumultuous year.
00:27Politically, socially.
00:30Musically.
00:32I think the music reflects the state that the society's in.
00:35All these bands were making music referring to protests and the Vietnam War.
00:40That was our language.
00:42I would like to say something that hasn't been said so much, you know.
00:481971 was a year of revolutionary consciousness.
00:54We were fueled by this amazing music that everyone was making.
01:00It was articulating everything you're seeing and feeling.
01:05You know, we have survived everything that's gone down and come out stronger.
01:11I think this is my cross of the air.
01:14I'm a messenger.
01:17We thought that music could change the world.
01:20I don't think you'll really, really have a new thing until you've got a new music.
01:30The peace and flowers, love thing was over.
01:34I wasn't a soldier.
01:37I was a musician.
01:38How can I use my music to help change things?
01:42All power to the people.
01:43I don't think you'll ever see a creative person like that musically ever again.
01:49These were not just players.
01:51They were cultural icons.
01:53We have come through something.
01:54We can get this far.
01:55We can get further.
01:56They took this on and things changed.
02:01The music was not a soundtrack.
02:04It was much more than that.
02:08It was much more than that.
