In 1968, social divisions and political turmoil sparked massive unrest that was similar in many ways to what we’re seeing in 2020. On Friday, August 21st from 3:30 to 5pm, author, rock music historian, and OLLI SF State instructor Richie Unterberger presents “1968: The Year in Music,” spotlighting performances of songs that reflected the volatile times. He’ll plays and discuss clips of rock, soul, folk, jazz, and country classics by the Beatles, James Brown, Rolling Stones, Pete Seeger, Jefferson Airplane, Dion, and others that both mirrored and helped define one of the stormiest years of the twentieth century.
