Like a True Natures Child

You may be asking yourself right now, why would Autumn be reminding us to recycle on a music blog??? That is a good question and the answer is for inspiration. My teacher recently sent all of us outside running around with our phones and told us to take inspirational sensory detail pictures for 15 minutes, normally no big deal except it was raining. So as I'm running around I came up with a theme which was to be green. The backstory and thought process of that was the fact that we had been in a drought so the rain was much welcomed, I got pictures of bikes that people had ridden to school and then the full parking lot of cars that created who knows how many CO2 emissions, the fact there was one prius, and then the above picture. I know you are all waiting to find out how this ties into music. Music has to be about something, therefore inspired by something and of course love is the most well known but what about the love of our planet? Well there was a time when music was inspired by that and we know it as the hippie era. The highlight of this era was 1967 to 1973 and it continued after that a bit but that was mostly when hippies came to be. Personally I like this era it teahces a lot about caring for our planet and caring for each other. So I went through and developed a playlist of 'hippie' songs and artists and I think its pretty groovy. Feel free to check it out.
