Two eras in time were the 1930’s and 1960’s. Both of these two periods in time are interesting in their own ways. Also people usually think the 1960’s were all about fun which wasn’t always true. In addition people think that a main event in the 30’s was the Great Depression which in fact is true but there’s more to the 30’s than most people think.

Music from the 1960’s and 1970’s is much different than music of today.
