Abstract
ABSTRACTThis personal essay begins with a discussion of the Festival for Peace, an all-day rock show at Shea Stadium, NYC, August 1970. After a brief discussion of my impressions of the Festival for Peace, I discuss how the music of the late 1960s and early 1970s, in particular, shaped my identity and thinking for years to come, including my openness to various civil rights and political movements and my decisions to major in English, to work in education and not corporate America, to shift my research focus from American literature to popular music, and to develop courses in popular culture.
