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.

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

The new album is...I haven't totally decided yet but certainly worth the listen. It's definitely old-man music.
