Welcome
The 60s and early 70s were obviously periods of immense transformation.
There was an explosion of countless new things and numerous new
ideas. Today, we see that the 60s saw the introduction of changing
Civil Rights, Free Speech, Sexual Revolution, the Anti-War Movement,
and Black Power, among other broad topics. Meanwhile, the innovative
music of the 60s provided a background soundtrack for the times,
highlighting what was going on in the world whilst captivating
the minds of the youth, and speaking directly to the affected
young people about issues with which they were concerned. By examining
the music at the time and its affect on students at UCLA, we can
learn an incredible amount about the 60s in general, as well as
travel back and explore a bit of UCLA in the 60s. |

In investigating the new music to emerge in the 60s, it is important
to appreciate that a generation before, nothing even close to
this existed. Students at UCLA grew up with no other type of music
than that which rebelled against authority and the older generation.
Music may have shaped a generation of youth that were admitted
to UCLA during the late 60s, and continued to have a large affect
on the lives of the undergraduate population in Los Angeles throughout
the 60s and 70s, as is prevalent from reading and exploring the
Daily Bruin from those times. |
The following site was designed to tell about music at UCLA in
the late 60s and early 70s and how it was viewed by the students
