Music, Media, and the Counterculture in America 1950-1980
This class examines music, media, and culture at a time of profound social upheaval. The intersection where they met in post-WWII America was pivotal. The effect they had on each other was unprecedented and altered them in ways that still impact society today. At the core is a classic struggle between art and commerce, innovation and orthodoxy, freedom, and control. With a mix of lectures, audio-visual elements, music, and discussion, this course will study why it is a story worth remembering and retelling through our personal narrative of the time.
