How the world had changed. New Genres of musical taste were being created. The fusion which was born between the new young artists of the world and socially conscious students and spiritual explorers, produced a period of unparalleled protest and radical change. And I was in there somewhere. How lucky is that? It made me feel extremely sorry for the new generation, prisoners of today’s gigantic corporate and political brand designers: Will you tell us when to live? Will you tell us when to die? Wired up to i-Pods and making virtual friends in an imbalanced world of artificial wealth and ultra-realistic poverty; where the 60’s is only a page on Wikipedia. Not that I’m one for nostalgia, but there was a spirit of brave, untamed non-conformism that produced and expanded ideas, art and music, which still stand up strong today. The message was as loud as it was clear: The Times They Are A-Changin’. True, but unfortunately war is still with us, Bob. The question is: where and how will changes take place today in this complex, CCTV monitored and digitally encoded era? From i-Pods to i-Pads? Is there really a cause still worth marching for? Of course there is – it’s called Humanity. You can find us at the end of the Rainbow – looking for it. Cat Stevens 2010
