      Esoteric obscure musical recommendation: The Who. All of it. 1964-1982, and the Townshend solo albums too up through ALL THE BEST COWBOYS HAVE CHINESE EYES. You're welcome for this tip into a unknown music group.

      Want to feel chills down your spine? Pete Townshend wrote this in 1970 as part of a dystopian 'rock opera' followup to TOMMY (the remnants became WHO'S NEXT, but this wasn't on it). Listen to those lyrics: this is LITERALLY THE WORLD WE LIVE IN NOW.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC7EEo8SlhM …

      "Press any button, and milk and honey flows/the world begins behind your neighbor's wall/it all looks fine to the naked eye/but it don't really happen that way at all." Townshend didn't have the poetic dreamy spirit of Dylan or Cohen, but he was every bit as good a lyricist.

      No one single song captured the "THE SIXTIES ARE OVER, THEY'RE TOTALLY OVER" zeitgeist better than this. A legitimate revolution in popular music:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIbMbXjbW98 …

      I'd submit that it was captured better by another song on the same album.

          Obviously you're referring to "Goin' Mobile."

          We were still decades from the moment when that song was reclassified as right-wing.
