1969. Love Is But A Song We Sing. The Great Rock 'n' Roll Revolution of 1969. Book. Softcover. 332 pages. Published by Backbeat Books. HL.332783. ISBN 0879309792. 6x9 inches. A fast-paced, fun, and sometimes brutal look at America's most volatile and creative year in music – 1969. a time of euphoria and devastation, freedom and assassination, revolution and retribution, moonwalks and sit-ins, love-ins and race riots, sex, drugs, and guns. Idyllic college campuses became killing fields and inner cities went up in flames as the drumbeat of popular music tried to drown out the drums of war. 1969 was birthed through the visions and violence of 1968. By the Time We Got to Woodstock breathlessly documents a year that saw more music-as-manifesto and rock-as-revolution than ever before. At one mad outdoor party after another – from Miami to Denver, and from Woodstock to Altamont – cracks in the promised hippie utopia quickly turned to canyons. This was the year that saw the Beatles go supernova while Bob Dylan hightailed it to Nashville. From the Byrds, Joan Baez, Jimi Hendrix, the Airplane, and Janis Joplin to the Velvet Underground, the Mothers of Invention, Funkadelic, and the Fugs, 1969 stands up as a decade-smashing anomaly in the annals of rock'n'roll captured gloriously in this blistering book.

'N vinnige, pret, en soms wrede blik op Amerika se mees vlugtige en kreatiewe jaar in die musiek - 1969. 'n tyd van euforie en verwoesting, vryheid en moord, revolusie en vergelding, moonwalks en sit-ins, liefde-ins en ras onluste, seks, dwelms, en gewere. Idilliese kollege-kampusse het slagvelde en innerlike stede in vlamme opgegaan het as die tamboerslag van populêre musiek probeer verdrink die tromme van die oorlog. 1969 gebore is deur die visie en geweld van 1968. Teen die tyd wat ons aan Woodstock uitasem dokumenteer 'n jaar wat gesien het meer musiek-as-manifes en rock-as-omwenteling as ooit tevore. Op 'n besetene buite party na die ander - van Miami te Denver, en van Woodstock te Alta Mont - krake in die beloofde utopia hippie vinnig omgedraai om canyons. Dit was die jaar wat gesien het die Beatles gaan supernova terwyl Bob Dylan hightailed dit te Nashville. Van die Byrds, Joan Baez, Jimi Hendrix, die vliegtuig, en Janis Joplin na die Velvet Underground, die Moeders van uitvinding, Funkadelic, en die Fugs, 1969 staan as 'n dekade-breek anomalie in die annale van rock gevang is hoog in hierdie striemende boek.
