(Edited the music out, just interviews and video.) This one is really interesting and covers the influence that news events, politics and the economy had on music, as covered by VH1 in October 2001. They start off with legendary Beatle John Lennon's 1980 murder and, besides the devastation and sadness, also was the symbolic end of the 60s and 70s Baby Boomer pop culture era. The sexual revolution was still going strong, but within a few more years, AIDS and condoms started changing people's perceptions and making them more conscious. They brought up too, how the counterculture rockers like The Who, Eric Clapton and Rolling Stones was beginning to be used to sell products since that audience had now become middle aged adults. There was also a shift from about 1981-1984 away from the socially and politically conscious rock of the Boomer era during the very early MTV years... but charity causes like "We Are The World", Farm Aid and Live Aid helped gradually bring the political influence back to popular music. As did bands like U2, Tracy Chapman, Springsteen, John Mellencamp, and others starting circa 1985. What I love is how they didn't spare Ronald Reagan and how he seemed to not give a damn about inner cities, poverty, and gay people or anyone suffering from AIDS. On a more optimistic and happier note, they ended with the 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall (representing freedom) in Germany, and with how the 80s was getting a revival right around that time, and just how cool and timeless so much of it was, and still is.
