Friday on my mind,- the 60s The 1960s was a decade of extreme change all over the western world. Popular music, movies and television shows drove this, creating a new globalised and westernised world Here are some of the shows and acts that made this possible

Popular Culture 1960s During the 1950s and 60s increased incomes and new technology made media powerful Entertainment was linked to media, movies continued, but records and TV shows took over. Most material came from the USA

U.S. Television Rules Television dominated social life with 3 commercial networks and the ABC to choose from When people weren’t watching shows they were talking about them Shows were overwhelmingly American,although the ABC ran some BBC programs On the next slide you can click on links to 22 of the hundreds of US programs shown on Australian TV. Click on image to view shows from the 1960s

The US influence Australian Culture was seriously influenced by American Culture This was a global phenomenon. The dominance of the USA after 1945 was insidious As an ally of the US, Australia embraced the American way of everything From Elvis hairstyles in the early fifties to Hippie lifestyles and Hendrix in the late sixties As we were the only major ally of the US in the Vietnam War, the US moratorium was mirrored here Woodstock69, the big 3 days of peace, love and rock was copiedWoodstock69, with Wallacia Jan 1970 and Sunbury 1972.Sunbury 1972 Click on Uncle Sam for the US story of Rock Click on Hendrix for Hendrix

Rock and Roll The revolution in music that began in the USA, “Rock and Roll” – was echoed in Australia Our remoteness resulted in local acts becoming popular as the big names were too far away. Copy acts and TV shows like Bandstand became part of Australian cultureBandstand

More American prepackaged culture When the Beatles took the USA by storm and EMI grabbed a huge slice of the market share from RCA. The Americans created a completely artifical band Complete with TV show and Concert deals The Monkees were another US HIT in Australia

The Music Revolution The American revolution of “Rock and Roll” became world wide. The access to new music via radio and records changed popular music for ever. Rock and Roll changed society and began the move towards equality for all, blacks, women and gays

The British Invasion The new youth culture was common to the English speaking world, British bands doing Rock and Roll stormed the US and the world in 1964 Australia followed, but only one local rock band made it worldwide in the 1960s – The Easybeats with Friday on my mind in 1966Easybeats In the 1970s a related group ACDC would set the world on fire

Popular Culture and Atom Bombs Popular Culture was the most powerful weapon of the cold war. Broadcast into communist countries Rock Music won the hearts of young people And the walls came down in 1989 End of the Cold War
