Born to be wild. A prog about American rock music.

Looking forward to that carrust, it's about late 60s tonight isn't it?

[carrust]

Yup, my era :-) whoops, I'm showing my age now:-(

[bensmum]

My age as well ....... :)

[tonyav]

Will it be about one artist / group or about all from that era.

[Jomlett]

The first episode concentrates on the late 1960s, exploring the artists that made the soundtrack to the Peace and Love generation, culminating in the Woodstock music festival.

[tonyav]

Thanks, Jomlett.

[bensmum]

They mentioned The Doors, Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane in a trailer for this week so think it's about various groups in different eras each week

[jeffa]

Mine too! Watching it now. It's followed by "Jimi Hendrix: Road to Woodstock" and then "The Doors - The Story of LA".

[Prudie]

Thanks for the heads up, even if you're not keen on the music the old news clips and film are fascinating

[jeffa]

Plenty of choices for mamyalynne's music thread tonight :-)

[carrust]

Decided to watch all 3 progs. Born to be wild, then the hendrix @ woodstock followed by the making of L A Woman with Doors. Yawn, can't take these late nights any more. :-)

[boxtops]
