INFO ***************************************************************** INTRODUCTION & MUSINGS Welcome All! So, what's it all about man? Keep On Truckin' Re-Visited is a moderated newsletter/list about the time between the mid 60s and mid 70s. It was designed to examine and present a positive nostalgia of a time since past. It is also designed to provide a forum for you to share your feelings, thoughts and experiences from that time frame. Please participate and help this community to grow. -----> Your subscribe and un-subscribe info is at the end of this mess! -----> HEY! Another totally loaded groovy issue this month. Lots of Links, Quotes, contributions and more! With spring here, and summer sure to follow, things are really shaking at my home here in Colorado. I am wanting to get out and do some hiking, photography, and just enjoying the great outdoors much more this year. It is amazing how life and living sometimes has its own plans for our future. As always, I would really love to hear from more of you. If you have anything that fits this rag, please share it with us. If you (any of you) get a chance, just let me know what areas of the newsletter you like more than the others. Maybe I could focus a bit more on what you like.

A recent online exhibit explored how television has affected presidential campaigns since the 1950s and allowed visitors to watch campaign ads from 1952 to 2000 on Real Player. Other exhibits used Flash animation to show how moving image machines work and lead you through a collection of classic video games. http://www.ammi.org/site/site.asp ------------------------------------ H.

It is the tangible symbol of Rock n' Roll, a glorified ukulele that, plugged or unplugged, delivers a bolt of severe emotion and energy to music. Guitar.com is the online haven for this coveted instrument's ambitious students, seasoned masters, and loyal fans. This website is nothing short of guitar heaven. There is a magazine's worth of cool articles, guitar-related discussion groups, access to personal instruction and great tips and tricks about playing the instrument.

The ancient water pipe, despite its popularity and history in the East, is essentially obsolete here in America. This fascinating website pays tribute to the holy hookah, exploring the debate over its origins, the international diversity of the pipe and even its presence as a fixture in art and society. It is an extremely detailed look into its traditions and functions, accompanied with photographs, which reveals the narghile as not only a tool for smoking tobacco, but as an exotic instrument of conversation and custom all over the world. http://www.techism.com/narghile/ H.

It blooms when it blooms, it falls when it falls. Now it stands up in full blossom under the clear blue sky, and the entire cosmos is reflected in it. Neither the Buddha nor Kasyapa can touch that--nor can we. It simply greets us in the soft breeze and awaits our quiet and holy smile." - Takeuchi Yoshinori *-*-*-* "Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in Love." - Albert Einstein *-*-*-* "When governments fear the people there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny." -Thomas Jefferson *-*-*-* "The twelve scariest words in the English language are: ‘I am from the government and I am here to help you.’" -Ronald Reagan (1976) *-*-*-* "Every man, from the highest to the lowest station, ought to warm his heart and animate his endeavours with the hopes of being useful to the world, by advancing the art which it is his lot to exercise; and for that end he must necessarily consider the whole extent of its application, and the whole weight of its importance." - Samuel Johnson *-*-*-* "We owe it to ourselves as respectable human beings, as thinking human beings, to do what we can to make humanity more rational... Humanists recognize that it is only when people feel free to think for themselves, using reason as their guide, that they are best capable of developing values that succeed in satisfying human needs and serving human interests." -Isaac Asimov ***************************************************************** FEATURED WORDS & TUNES --------------------------------- ** FEATURED BOOK ** High Art : A History of the Psychedelic Poster by Ted Owen, Denise Dickson Paperback - 176 pages (June 1999) Sanctuary Pub Ltd ISBN: 1860742564 Book Description Sixties psychedelic poster art has stretched beyond the ephemeral and functional nature of its design to become highly collectable and internationally recognized. High Art explores both the creation of psychedelia and the imagery born of this movement. It covers the Avalon and Fillmore ballrooms who commissioned the art, the UFO Club in London and features leading American artists, profiles of British artists and it describes the collectors' experience. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1860742564/vipgraphvideo (you may need to cut and paste the url if it's on two lines) For more great reading - http://www.vipgrafx.com/hippy/books.html --------------------------------- ** FEATURED ALBUM ** Fragile [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] Yes Audio CD (August 16, 1994) Wea/Atlantic; ASIN: B000002J1F Editorial Review With the 1972 release of Fragile, Yes established themselves as one of the most progressive rock bands on the scene. With the recent addition of towering, silver-caped Rick Wakeman on keyboards, they raised their innovative brand of music to even dizzier heights. "Roundabout," which is still a standard on classic rock playlists, is an unusual track, coming in under four minutes, while "Heart of the Sunrise"--with its varied constituents molded together perfectly--goes on for as long as it needs.--Paul Clark Tracks 1.
