Lectures For Lifelong Learners!

Listen to the greatest music that inspired political change from the 60s to the 80s. Some artists wrote their own music, others made famous recordings of earlier songs. Starting with the famous civil rights song “We Shall Overcome,” popularized by Pete Seeger, we’ll discuss local Minnesota artist Bob Dylan (“The Times They Are A-Changin’”). We’ll contrast two memorable hits from 1967— and blues star Aretha Franklin’s “Respect” and the Beatles’ “All You Need Is Love.” We end with Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.”
