It was the best of times and the worst of times. The mind stretching lyrics that many heard while on acid or other intense drugs (like peyote and mesculine not meth, crack or angel dust) before it became passe and denigrated because of its association to the rock stars deaths like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison. To me the art and music of that time can be immitated but not repeated.
The musicians and the fans dressed in black light or bright colors with Mod hippie styles of British invasion. The music at this period was psychadelic and the surroundings in the discoteques usually complimented the imagery of the lyics. Multiple meanings and images with or without rythyms.
It's for the enjoyment of the lyrics that areas unique and interesting as the best poetry. Just like Dylan's Desolation Row the meaning is the juxterpositioning of images in our minds that have no connection to a literal meaning.
