Update: The extended broadcast of Part 2 of the multi-part Orphic Essay-with-Soundtrack, “Romantic Total Revolution: the ’60s Second American Revolution” (broadcast 9/ 8/25), is now available for listening on the “Archived Musical Essays” webpage, along with the corresponding playlist on the “Program Playlists” page, of the Tower of Song website at revradiotowerofsong.com.
Part 2 brings the Romantic 18th- and 19th-century concept of “total revolution” into the 20th century, specifically the era of the revolutionary ’60s.
Be sure to check out the fantabulous “Romantic Total Revolution” webpage that is dedicated to this musical essay series, which is loaded with images, memes, and supplemental information concerning the people, places and things discussed in the musical essay–so listeners can literally “see what I mean (or meme).”
