Franco, Woodstock è stato fatto nel '69! Ma per la gioia di tanti accettiamo anche questa data! :-)
SONDAGGIO
L'EVENTO DEL '68 CHE TI HA SCONVOLTO:
1) IL SUCCESSO DELLO "PSIUP" CHE ALLE ELEZIONI POLITICHE PRESE ALLA CAMERA IL 4,45% E 23 SEGGI, FACENDO TRABALLARE IL II° GOVERNO RUMOR.
2) LO SCANDALOSO 13° POSTO A SANREMO DI LOUIS ARMSTRONG E LARA SAINT PAUL CON "STANOTTE SENTIRAI UNA CANZONE".
3) LO TRUFFA DEL LANCIO DELLA MONETINA NELLA SEMIFINALE DEGLI EUROPEI DI CALCIO TRA ITALIA E URSS, (SI DISSE CHE IN REALTA' IL SORTEGGIO FAVORI' L'URSS), l'ITALIA POI VINSE L'EUROPEO
"...l'opposizione, qui, non nascerà di certo dalla classe operaia o dai ceti medi che occupano la perte centrale della piramide sociale; essa si svilupperà piuttosto alle sue estremità, e cioè tra le élites studentesche e intellettuali, oppure all'estremo opposto, tra i gruppi più poveri ed emarginati del sottoproletariato urbano"
(1968 - Herbert Marcuse)
...PROTOTIPI TROPPO STRANI PER VIVERE E TROPPO RARI PER MORIRE,I GIOVANI DEL 68..CONTRO TUTTO E CONTRO TUTTI.UN FIUME IN PIENA CHE HA DISTRUTTO TUTTI GLI ARGINI CONVENZIONALI..
1968: iniziano gli scontri di piazza
1 marzo 1968
La "battaglia" di Valle Giulia è il primo scontro di piazza prolungato e su vasta scala tra studenti e forze di polizia. Pasolini tuona contro gli studenti: "Quando a Valle Giulia avete fatto a botte coi poliziotti io simpatizzavo coi poliziotti. Perchè i poliziotti sono figli dei poveri."
I Volontari Nazionali scendono a Roma
16 marzo 1968
Cala sull'ateneo romano, teatro di un'aspra contestazione studentesca, una spedizione punitiva di circa duecento squadristi, i Volontari nazionali, giunti da tutta Italia e guidati da Almirante, Caradonna e Turchi (tre dei più importanti leader del Msi) per sgomberare l'Università dalle "canaglie rosse" e per riallineare i gruppi studenteschi di destra alle tradizionali posizioni missine di difesa dell'ordine.
L'episodio non è senza conseguenze, in quanto contribuisce in modo decisivo a innescare una profonda lacerazione nelle organizzazioni giovanili missine, divise tra adesione alla contestazione e fedeltà alla linea d'ordine del partito, avviando, in sostanza, la diaspora di parte dei militanti della destra che si rifugeranno, col tempo, nel disimpegno politico, o abbracceranno forme di lotta più estreme.
Inizia la Primavera di Praga
21 marzo 1968
Antonin Novotny viene destituito dalla carica di Presidente della Repubblica cecoslovacca. Si apre il grande processo di democratizzazione che sarà definito "Primavera di Praga".
"...ma voi le avete mai guardate le classifiche dei dischi più venduti in Italia di quell’anno? Dove sono i fermenti che oggi crediamo di ricordare, la protesta e l’impegno, l’Italietta naïf del miracolo economico che cresce e diventa società nuova? Guardate, consultate pure. Troverete gli angeli negri di Fausto Leali e il treno che all’incontrario va di Celentano, la tramontana di Antoine, Franco IV e Franco I, molto Gianni Morandi, la solita Mina, Rita Pavone che non si schioda e Mino Reitano che si allarga. Patty Pravo sembra una boccata d’aria (non lo sarà), Jannacci è un bell’intruso, Battisti è in eclissi dopo un promettente avvio; e i nostri amati Rokes e l’Equipe scadono di repertorio dopo le prodezze beat degli anni precedenti – il beat non c’è più e loro han perso la bussola, come tanti “capelloni”..."
prima puntata . r.b.
"...Il ’68 è l’anno in cui Dylan torna a farsi ascoltare con un album ostico e severo, John Wesley Harding, avvisando i fan che non è più la dissennata festa elettrica di prima ma una strana quaresima che si celebra in campagna, con strumenti acustici – gli fanno coro i Byrds di Sweetheart Of The Rodeo e la Band di Music From Big Pink, sulle stesse corde. è iniziata la “grande fuga dentro l’America” di tanti idealisti delusi dal clamore e dalle contraddizioni dell’anno prima. A San Francisco hanno celebrato un “funerale degli hippie” sancendo la fine di un’epoca: la comunità si è dissolta e non è un caso che a luglio di quell’anno Bill Graham apra il suo Fillmore West, incanalando l’utopia della “musica di tutti” nel più tipico schema di un locale di moda. ..."

vi smonto eh?
;-D
"... I Beatles pubblicano un doppio album che contiene tutto e il contrario di tutto, e non per niente porta una copertina completamente bianca; i Fab non sono più un complesso, sono quattro individui in precaria associazione che oltretutto non sanno dove andare. Anche la copertina del nuovo disco degli Stones è bianca ma non per scelta, per ripicca. Loro volevano metterci la foto di un cesso lercio e pieno di graffiti, la casa discografica si è opposta. è ancora forte la censura, nel nostro anno tutt’altro che magico. Il manager di Hendrix impone delle ragazze nude sulla front cover di Electric Ladyland e molti negozi si rifiutano di esporla in vetrina. ..."
"... è giusto il ’68 l’anno in cui la scena rock comincia a presentare il conto ai suoi talenti più spontanei e lunatici: Barrett perde il lume della ragione, Brian Wilson si apparta sul suo pianeta, Brian Jones si scava la fossa, Morrison comincia a ingarbugliare i Doors dalla sua nuvola di alcol e droghe. ..."
"... mentre dal giradischi i Troggs mi ricordano la più classica delle bugie di quei giorni con il loro hit di quell’anno, Love Is All Around. Ma quale amore, ma quali buone vibrazioni. Erano più onesti gli Steppenwolf a rivelare lo spirito dei tempi, allora e sempre: born to be wild. ..."
