Here's a little trivia for you: Today is the anniversary of the first rock'n'roll festival, the Monterey International Pop Festival, that took place in 1967. According to reports, 50,000 people turned out to listen to Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Ois Redding, The Byrds, Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, and The Mamas and the Papas.Remember the late '60s? The Vietnam war was escalating as were the war protests. The youth of that generation were redefining our culture and rock'n'roll was a major contributor. What memories do you have of that era?
