Her Lysergic Echo

The long hair cut with forehead bangs, the hanging jewels on necklaces and the psychedelic colours around and "in" her are echoes of the lysergic 60's. The image of her itself then, and the colours and shapes around her, even though they were created now, all produce, or are the result of the, echoes of the summers of the late 1960's - '67, '68 & '69. We still have a fascination for the psychedelic today. The forms of it's expression have changed, the technologies for creating it too. But the heart and soul of it still finds resonance, or, echoes in many today.

 

Music Link: Pink Floyd - "Julia Dream". A rare track found on their rarities compilation "Relics" from 1971. The song dates from 1969 and is a good example of Roger Waters working to move the band out from under Syd Barrett's considerable shadow and still appeal to their audience's taste for continued psychedelia of sorts. One of his best songs, actually. Young, naive, full of imagination it's the youthful Waters deeply committed to being an artist, before he began his gradual shift to acerbic anti-war rants and social criticism.
