    I learned that Janis Joplin was a very troubled and lonely person. She was also very tough. She had a problem with performing and used many different drugs throughout her time. Things were becoming more psycadelic and experimental. This period was about peace love and happiness.

    Three things I learned from the video were that a lot of people got tired of being depressed and alone so they killed themselves. A lot of great musicians died too (figuratively and physically) such as Janis Joplin. Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin were both very lonely and didn't have family, which led Janis to drink and do drugs and died. Finally, Rock n' Roll started from soul pretty much every genre did, It wasn't just for black people as long as they sang it with "soul"-like gospel- than the African American community accepted them. -Courtney Hines 10-25-13

    I think the 1960's was a time of revolution. I think it is an interesting time period. with all the drugs and drinking and woodstock. and all the partying. plus the revolution of rock an roll.

    I learned that in the later 1960's there were a lot of bands raising. There was a lot of sex and drugs that influenced songs. All this inspired Woodstock and more concerts.

    I learned alot from this not easily but still learned it. That rock changes into different sounds because of different artists look upon music.
