A Revealing History of Our Times Through the Eyes of the Artists Who Helped Change Our World
Since the early sixties, musicians have boldly advocated for social change, using their art to raise awareness about critical issues through songs, rallies, and benefit events. David Crosby, a prominent voice in rock 'n' roll for over thirty years, and coauthor David Bender share the inspiring stories of artists committed to making a difference. Their experiences offer a behind-the-scenes look at significant events, from the civil rights marches and antiwar protests of the sixties to the antinuclear demonstrations of the seventies, and the Live Aid and Amnesty International events of the eighties, culminating in the Tibetan Freedom concerts of today. This compelling narrative features new interviews with a diverse array of artists, including Harry Belafonte, Whoopi Goldberg, Adam Yauch, Phil Collins, Robin Williams, Eddie Vedder, Joan Baez, and Jimmy Buffett. Through these stories, readers gain insight into the passionate convictions that drive these artists and the persistent efforts that define their activism. Poignant and inspirational, this work serves as an unforgettable chronicle of late twentieth-century American activism.
