OMG! Your list nails the nostalgic essence of the period and elevates long pent-up emotions. By comparison, other lists—and I am an Apple Playlist hoarder—only glance the topic. Those songs are from a tumultuous time in our history—Vietnam, Watergate, etc.—yet they stir such powerfully restorative emotions! Excellent timing. Thank you for the playlist. I’m going to add it now.
Addendum: Maybe add Barry Maguire’s “Eve of Destruction?”
Thanks, Bill. I'm glad you like it. You can go down a rabbit hole with any one of those artists, but there is something powerful about all of those songs. Rock guitar from the early seventies really captures the emotions of the crazy times. "Ohio" by CSNY is a great example of that.
Hi Paul greetings from chilli Québec. Great playlist today ... Hendrix appropriately on top ...
I invite you to explicitly spell out those we should be praying for (or whatever we do). Its UKRAINE loud and clear ... the people the country the struggling democracy it represents. And check out the psychedelic Ukrainian version of China Cat Sun Flower on youtube.
I'm on board. I could have/should have shouted my support for the people of UKRAINE. I love the Ukrainian version of China Cat Sunflower. Thanks for sharing. It's here for anyone who wants to check it out https://youtu.be/0kUb5ODAo_A
I should add some Grateful Dead to my playlist. Maybe Truckin' and Casey Jones. More Hendrix as well.

Opening lyrics:
“The Eastern world, it is explodin'
Violence flarin', bullets loadin'”
So sad! Thanks again, Paul!!
