The time for jazz standards was over and there was nowhere to look from here but forward. A new sense of adventure was created through a new set of compositional choices that had been brought forth into the jazz world and now the entire world had been turned upside down. In a world where shadows are no longer cast downward, new palettes of color make themselves manifest in what was once colorless and grey.

Over 200,000 people showed up to take part in a day of peace, love, and music and the event was seen to completion despite the government's attempt to halt it mid-way through. As the government moved towards harsher ways to halt the rock and roll scene from creating social changes that it felt endangered its hold on the social structure, rock bands became increasingly adept at keeping their music and message alive by going underground and creating their own venues within the "lost cities" of Mexican society. The Mexican government could attempt to quash this youth movement through radio and television bans but they could never crush the spirit of those who believed in creating a new way of life through rock and roll.

ELUDING THE LENGTHENED SHADOW

As the late '70s became the early '80s, the once hippiefied squat scene began to be taken over by the burgeoning punk rock movement. Even the Free Festivals that had once been dominated by folk or rock bands started to see a surge of punk bands entering the mix. As the British recession started to worsen, sanitation strikes paralyzed entire communities as streets began to pile up with garbage for weeks at a time. And, as Thatcher rose to power, the British government slowly began to flex its muscle in the form of squat evictions all over the nation. This perceived setback of the squatters movement and this perceived victory by authority over the masses was reversed as squatters decided to take to large buses. Rather than live in a convoy that would only travel the summer months from festival to festival, they were determined to live in a convoy with a huge traveling community year-round. A form of self-reliance was discovered as travelers learned to support themselves and each other while the large convoy community began to grow ever larger.

Nothing was left unsaid; regardless of whether it was intense feelings of hatred or an overpowering sense of reverence and love for humanity.

This new tongue that spoke itself in short bursts of staccato was to bring new shape and form to an expression that had once thought itself to be solidified. A new relationship was forged with the sounds that we chose to surround ourselves with.

When Stokeley Carmichael first used the term "black power" in a speech he was delivering to a group of people at the March Against Fear as a member of SNCC (the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee), he opened the door to a new world for those who had felt disenfranchised as people of color living in the United States. The phrase was picked up immediately by those who had felt disenchanted with the Civil Rights movement and its expression took on many forms throughout the '60s and '70s. A ray of light shone itself on the black community and as people began to reach out to each other in an attempt to crawl out from the shadows of a racist power structure, people of all races would find themselves feeling a sense of empowerment that they, too, could share with the world.
