Well, my father, who went to Woodstock and many
other wild and crazy concerts during the 60's, listened to some interesting
music while I was in the womb and continued to after I was born...which I'm
sure influence my outlook on music preference - though being a borderline
hard determinist I believe most of our personalities and preferences are fixed
at conception.
Just a sample of what my dad listened to during my
early years:
The Crazy World of Arturo Brown - anyone remember
him shouting at the intro of the song..."I am the god of all hell fire"...and
"fire, we're gonna take to you hell"..."your gonna burn, you're gonna
burn...". I bought the CD a few months ago to jog my memory.
- German war marches and war speeches
from Hitler (on vinyl)...probably a collector album now, with giant swastika
banners on the front cover with Hitler at the podium and thousands of soldiers
in the audience (and no, I'm not an anti-Semite).
- Black Sabbath's self titled album released
in 1970 (not 60's but my dad never let go of the 60's until the late
70s)..."What is this that stands before me..."
- Hawkwind's "Space Ritual Live" - again an early
70's album but in line with what he listened to in the 60's...."Flying is trying
is dying"...great psychedelic stuff. Who knows what he played while I was in the
womb in 1967.
And of course, a lot...A LOT of Bob
Dylan.
....many more than this, and in the meantime, my
mother was trying to counter-balance all of this with 60's folk music, playing
and singing it on the guitar.
