    The psychedelic era was a nexus point, where a number of conditions came all together at one point in time and then evolved into hard rock, prog, fusion, etc. New advances in electronic equipment, recording studio techniques, improved musicianship, philosophic writing and hallucinogens all contributed to it.

    I think, Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones predates that. Speaker cone cutting is a bit of a myth. Robbie Robertson convinced the other Toronto guitar players to do it, and then was the only guy with a proper amp. people used to damage amps to achieve that od or distortion tone This is more myth than reality. e.g. stories about how Ray or Dave Davies (it's disputed which one) cut a speaker cone with a knife to get a more distorted tone. In reality, early amps just didn't have much headroom and the tubes went into overdrive fairly early. Leo Fender hated this and his designs were intended to stay clean at loud volumes. Some of his 'failures' are the most coveted amps today. Go figure. So, a low watt amp clipped kinda easy.😊😊😊😊

    It was not a sustainable lifestyle. Odd thing is, the ones living the life were the victims of the persons marketing and facilitating the life. They allowed themselves to be used by the very same thing that they were protesting. It was a life full of contradictions and hypocrites. My older brother fell into it head first. He left home and went to California. Lived in communes and hung out in San Francisco. He realized that he needed to get out or fix it. So he went back to school and became a psychologist. Stayed in San Francisco, talk about going to your customer base. He became "The Establishment".

    I believe the B side of paperback Writer was Yes It Is. This song would become extremely popular; a favorite song of Ringo's as well as John Lennons first wife Cynthia. I've always considered it one of Lennon's best songs from that particular period in 1966. Of course Paul's A side was great!! ( I might be mistaken on the years)

    Agreed, because no matter what man comes up with in government be it communism, socialism and pretty soon capitalism and anything else man comes up with in the future will always fail because of this one killer of many kingdoms, governments and Empires: Political Corruption. Currently, the only way to make political corruption in all governments in the entire global community, illegal and make it stick is if every citizen of every government in the world is armed with nuclear weapons and biological agents such as novichok to simply divide from government and go on without them as they would all have absolutely no political at all, ever again. However, that will never happen as more than likely we are going to soon get nukes from other nations because of our government in which religious and political dogma will prove to be our mass murderers in WW3. But, in either case, so long as we have such destructive governments run by crooks we'll always be made to be slaves in them and they'll call it, freedom, if they are not much more openly slave masters. Yup, things are pretty much fucked up.😢

    I am in with Daltry here. " I liked it all". In the end of the day, I leaned MOD just because I like suits. Though the MOD's were always very arrogant and high on. themselves, and I could never balance that. The Rockers/ Greasers were always far more open and friendly. So in the end, I ended up being a fringe player in a half dozen subcultures. I would say now, and even then, better to go all in on one club then just dabble about.
