1960's Popular Songs (White Rabbit)

Jefferson Airplane- White Rabbit

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don’t do anything at all
Go ask Alice, when she’s ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you’re going to fall
Tell ‘em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
To call Alice, when she was just small

When the men on the chessboard get up
And tell you where to go
And you’ve just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice, I think she’ll know

When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead
And the white knight is talking backwards
And the red queen’s off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
“Feed your head, feed your head”

1960's Popular Songs (Revolution)

The Beatles- Revolution

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don’t you know that you can count me out
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right
All right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We’d all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We’re doing what we can
But when you want money
For people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right
All right, all right
Ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah…

You say you’ll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it’s the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right
All right, all right
All right, all right, all right
All right, all right, all right

1960's Popular Songs (Monkey Man)

Rolling Stones- Monkey Man

Im a fleabit peanut monkey
All my friends are junkies
That’s not really true

Im a cold italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
What you do?

But Ive been bit and Ive been tossed around
By every she-rat in this town
Have you, babe?

Well, I am just a monkey man
Im glad you are a monkey woman too

I was bitten by a boar
I was gouged and I was gored
But I pulled on through

Yes, Im a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don’t you?

Well, I hope were not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic
We love to play the blues

Well I am just a monkey man
Im glad you are a monkey, monkey woman too, babe

Im a monkey
Im a monkey
Im a monkey man
Im a monkey man
Im a monkey…

1960's Popular Songs (Blowin’ in the Wind)

Bob Dylan – Blowin’ in the Wind

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man ?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand ?
Yes, how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they’re forever banned ?
The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.

Yes, how many years can a mountain exist
Before it’s washed to the sea ?
Yes, how many years can some people exist
Before they’re allowed to be free ?
Yes, how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn’t see ?
The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.

Yes, how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky ?
Yes, how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry ?
Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died ?
The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.

1960's Popular Songs (Purple Haze)

Jimi Hendrix – Purple Haze

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don’t seem the same
Actin’ funny, but I don’t know why
‘Scuse me while I kiss the sky

Purple haze all around
Don’t know if I’m comin’ up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me
Help me help me
Oh no no… no

Yeah

Purple haze all in my eyes
Don’t know if it’s day or night
You’ve got me blowin, blowin my mind
Is it tomorrow or just the end of time?
No, help me aw yeah! oh no no oh help me…

Watergate Scandal Five W's

Who: An unknown person broke into the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee. It was later discovered that the unknown people were robber hired by the Nixon camp. This scandal revolved around many people including President Nixon, all of congress, and many others.

What: The scandal erupted when it was learned that the perpetrators were part of the Nixon administration. This accusation was proved to be true when audio tapes were discovered. Congress pushed the President to reveal these tapes, but Nixon, as well as his quarters, denied their ever existence. When the tapes finally surfaced they had been cut and all evidence which connected the perpetrators to Nixon had been destroyed.

When: The Scandal first came to the forefront in the beginning or 1972. As time went by pressure on President Nixon mounted and finally the watergate tapes were revealed. As information continued to leak out supporters of president Nixon withered. The Watergate era came to an end in 1974 when Nixon resigned from his presidency.

Where: The Watergate scandal took place in the Watergate Building in Washington, DC. In the years to come the Watergate scandal was felt nationwide. The same corruption that was fought world wide made its way into the offices that were suppose to be against it. This very realization scared many Americans and encouraged change throughout the nation.

Why: Watergate occurred as a result of the numerous insecurities of President Nixon. His staff sent burglars to the Democratic National Committee building to obtain information that pertained to the upcoming presidential election. Nixon's attitude throughout his presidency foreshadowed the Watergate scandal to occur.
