In this episode, Pete talks to the great rock writer Anthony DeCurtis about how world events affected the music of 1968 and vice versa.  It was a seminal year for music, with new releases by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Velvet Underground, Jimi Hendrix, and much more.  Pete and Adam discuss some of the other music fighting for the ears of America, from bubblegum to adult contemporary, which also appeared on the charts in '68.
