In 1971 I was spinning vinyl at a college AM radio station, with shoulder length hair, mustache and a PBR in hand. I met my future spouse there! ;) I look forward to this series!

Hippies 🤢
Weird comment on a variety of levels, the least of which is how judgmental it is. Most what comes to mind is how wrong it is. Even if you did not use "hippies" in a negative context, the word, colloquially, doesn't even relate to a lot of this music.

Just perhaps a smidge boomerific. Although "All Things Must Pass" *is* a great album.

If you want to listen to the Moog synthesizer in all its glory look up “Switched on Bach” by Wendy Carlos who also was involved with the music with Disney 1982 Tron.
And, in 1971, the soundtrack to "A Clockwork Orange." But I'm guessing Apple wouldn't put much focus on that one.

This should be mandatory viewing for the jokers who work at Apple Music who push all the "music" made by a host of characters with wonderful names starting with Lil and the others who can't play instruments or write lyrics. ;)
